These could be sites about the culture, heritage, language, history, recipes, people, etc. of the country.

HIHI have 25 yrs experience with Philippines adoptions and well established repoire with the INter-country adoption board there. Currently the fee for the Philippines has been LOWERED by 1500 because the Philippines have added addition staff there. The coordinator is Vickie Truelove at 219-636-3566. I understand that if one parent is of filipino heritage, they recieve pregerence over other waitng families for matched.
I'd be glad to answer any other questions if I can.

It may be that they no longer exists, they are hard to find, or that they just might have changed names or affiliates. In any case, I think a list of Orphanages in the Philippines (perhaps, along with addresses or phones numbers) would be quite helpful.
