“I need to move to Nebraska...”
The state of Nebraska has ruined the family with my grandchildren. They have single-handedly destroyed a very faith driven household and judges who think they are god won’t even let us foster care our own grandchildren where we live in Florida. Seven months and counting of this charade.
If I want to kitty up $5000 for counsel, they may fix it in 6 months. Sounds like extortion as in the Chicom adoptions.
Not at all, in fact, your comparison is a rude slam against the system in China. When people go to China to adopt they actually come home with a child. In your case, since you are dealing with liberal know it all socialist services professionals you may pay the money and come away with nothing but less money.
It is expensive to adopt in China, but well worth it IMO. Her brothers and sister adore her, and she is a treasure, a gift from God. I like to dress her in red and call her my little red Chinese.
I never adopted from China, but I have adopted from Korea, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam. Most of the money I paid went to plane tickets to get the kids home, nominal court fees, fees for US VISAs, passports, and the like. In some cases, it went to my own hotel fare and meals.
It sure beat waiting years for a domestic adoption, with the legal complications, potential reversals, and birth family’s strings attached.
