It’s much easier to adopt internationally living in the U.S. as a U.S. citizen (one parent will do) than in Great Britain regardless of your citizenship. If you are interested, let me know–even though I adopted over 12 years ago, I keep up! It changes all the time, but in general it’s a lot harder to adopt internationally now than it was at any time in the last 20 years. I actually think that’s a good thing–I could have adopted a child to use for body parts, really!–but I understand how unfair it seems to people looking into adoption now.
ah ditto, okay that makes sense. but is it not easier to adopt babies who are born in this country? or is it harder cuz it’s harder to be truly anonymous?

Rob,
Seriously do you want to know the answer to this question or are you just stirring the pot with your ignorance?
no, i was seriously wondering. tho im sure i probably phrased in a pot stirring way i guess
there’s are tho so many homeless animals out there, more than children, who need homes more than children. cuz children can go into foster homes and it’s easier to place a child in a foster home cuz the foster parents all they see is $$$$. but with dogs and cats there’s no financial gain from fostering, it’s all out of pocket.
im not really comparing adopting a child with adopting an animal tho, just thinking about how strange life is cuz there are times that i truly wish i was put into a foster home instead of being adopted by my grandparents, i wonder what kind of person id be today!?

Don’t be coy, ET. Your drawer is always open.
I’d like to adopt some 20 something guys internationally.
“And if I remember ET, not long ago you couldn’t even figure out how to light the oven.”
ET was too busy in the kitchen Mastering the Art of Bl*wj*bs, Dave.
Just like the Algonquin round table.
I knew how to turn it on. I didn’t know what the drawer underneath was for!
sheesh.

“Which part is confusing you, Expert?”
Probably the “related” part.
