There you can learn from others in process and who have already completed the process, about the various pitfalls and which agencies are likely to be/have been problems.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, check out David K's website, <A HREF="http://www.adoptionagencychecklist.com/" REL="nofollow">Adoption Agency Checklist</A> and <I>do the things David suggests on the checklist</I>. <BR/><BR/>Thirdly, simply go into it with your eyes open, with a little bit of skepticism--ask questions and demand answers when things don't make sense. <BR/><BR/>Finally, read, educate yourself on the issues in whatever country you adopt from, and read the rules that govern adoption in that country. (The rules governing adoption from India can be found at <A HREF="http://www.csa.org.in/carainter.pdf" REL="nofollow">Guidelines for Adoption from India</A>)<BR/><BR/>When things aren't according to the rules, ask questions and again, demand answers.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!<BR/>DesireeDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379871315468470235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35750443.post-42295605724247781692007-04-09T11:50:00.000-05:002007-04-09T11:50:00.000-05:00I am a member of ichild and have been behind readi...I am a member of ichild and have been behind reading e mails - so I'm just seeing this on the group.<BR/><BR/>We have just started the adoption process - and now I'm concerned! How do we know for sure we are getting a true orphan? Is is the US agency or do they not know what is going on in India? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for any info!<BR/>Jennifer jjcarrx3@aol.comPJ Academyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399114597490802249noreply@blogger.com
