Anyway, regardless of where you live, you'll get an idea of what each country is expecting from prospective families.... good luck with your search. Also, if you go to you will find invaluable information on international adoption issues, as well as learn about outher countries and their systems. There are also lots of adoption stories and links to useful web sites. Hope this is helpful. Best of luck, Cathy

As yet legislation does not allow non-South Africans to adopt a South African child, but it is in the Constitutional courts at the moment and should be passed soon. That will then allow "foreigners" to adopt Black Babies only and South Africans who are residing outside their home country will then be able to adopt a child of any race and take him/her out of the country. Hope this helps.
