My husband and I have been married 10 years and would like to adopt an infant or toddler with out going through the heartbreak of foster parenting. We cannot afford to do an overseas adoption process and don’t want to wait forever any ideas?

I have been adopted by my God mother, who is a German citizen. I am 18 years old (the adoption did not take place until my 18th birthday). Is it possible for me to lay claim to German citizenship?
According to all the information online, it seems as that you can only gain citizenship if you were adopted before age 18. Surely there must be some way around this?

My husband and myself are raising our 4 year old son and since I have had him I have found out that I cannot have other children and we are looking to adopt a brother or sister for him but the waiting lists are so long in canada for a child he will be grow up by then. Does anyone know of an agency or someone willing to do a private adoption?

We paid our lawyer $500.00 for an adoption of my five children(all to the same father) back in July 2008. The ex is not contesting it. The only thing we have seen so far is papers for my present husband to sign and papers that my ex signed (giving up custody) about 3 months ago. What is taking so long?

Considering the adoption process and don’t know where to start. Thanks

My husband and I are wanting a baby and have been unsuccessful for three years now. What should we expect financially for a domestic adoption? $5,000, $10,000, $20,000??? We have no clue.

My adoption was final Dec 2007. I am a foster parent. since the child i adopted was in the foster care agency, can you still claim the credit? I had minimal expenses. What supporting documents do you need to submit ? If you e-file will you have to mail in or can you still do it all electronically? Thanks for all of your answers in advance.
