My daughter has been in Bolivia working in an orphange and has fallen in love with a little 6 year old boy who has cerbral palsy. He is very bright, but has serious language problems and paraysis on the left side. We are looking into the possibility of adopting him. He was abandoned when he was 4. The red tape is daunting. We've been told not to go through an agency. That doing so would triple or quadruple the cost of adopting. Has anyone out there gone through this process. We have people in Bolivia waiting to help us, but they have already been offered an underhanded deal that they would not accept and neither would we. We will only do this if we can do it legitimately. The miracle here is that the United States became part of the Hague Convention in April making adoptions between Bolivia and the United States possible for the first time. Advice is welcome along with prayers. Thanks!
