Adopting African Children?

My partner and I have been wanting to adopt 1 or 2 children from Africa for quite some time. What is the first step we should take into the adoption process?

Your first step is research, research, research.
International adoption is not for the fainthearted and there is a lot of preparation that needs to be done, before you decide if you want to adopt, or if you are able to parent a child from international adoption.
Check out the forum: informed adoption advocates. It is a great place to get some good information. |

I'd suggest learning about their culture as well as looking into possible domestic adoptions FIRST.
Or maybe I'd just sponsor a child so it could remain with it's family and culture. hmm. |
