I read the sticky and a few threads on adoption. I have lived in the DR over a year and will be there a year more ...mostly teaching and working at an orphanage. My husband and I are not yet 30, but once we are we will meet all of the requirements from what I can tell.
From working with CONANI (occasionally) in what I do here I know that everything through them moves incredibly SLOW ...just wanted to know your opinion on how long the process would probably take if done as described in the adoption sticky. Living in the country 60 days and waiting for an available child I know might be time consuming, but what about the paperwork process ...does it ever move along at a decent pace?
Any other suggestions? It kills me to see so many orphaned and abandoned kids here with such a complicated process of placing them with a good family. I know I could try the adoption route in another latin american country, but my heart is in the DR.
