Thanks for setting me straight. I think my info is old, since the last time I read up on this stuff was back in 1990. However, I did want to make the point that the poverty of the DR and any other 3rd world country with no "safety nets" cannot be compared to poverty in the USA, otherwise why...

The United States, it sure is not. As far as I know there is no enforced child support. The high percent of "ninos en la calle" is one of the factors in the ongoing poverty in the DR. If these guys give the Mom's money for milk or pampers once in a while, they think they have done something...

I work for the US department of state in passport services. I would like to let everyone know what to do if they live in the Dominican Republic and discover that their passport has expired. You CANNOT give it to someone to renew it for you in the USA. You must go to the USA consulate in Santo...
