What do you want your family to be?
Learning that you have been assigned a child for adoption is an exquisitely joyful moment. In reality, though, there is more waiting to do. Going to get your child can be tiring and difficult, especially when traveling abroad. Each placement agency has a unique set of rules governing travel to retrieve a child, how long an adoptive parent must stay in the place of origin, and requirements for immigration and naturalization.
