This question is directed to Mr Guzman.
It appears from my reading of Art 30 subsection (c) of the DR Minors' Code that single persons can only adopt from the DR if they already have parented or are parenting child(ren).
Is this interpretation is correct ?... ie CHILDLESS singles cannot adopt from the DR.
Also the US State Department website states:
"In cases where the Dominican Republic has already declared a child abandoned, adoptive parents may be given legal guardianship with the intent of adoption in the United States."
Is this still the case .. can adopting parents be given guardianship with the intention to adopt in the US?
Thank you for your comments.
