South African wanting to adopt...

I'm sorry, but you won't be able to adopt from any foreign country at this point. The Central Authority in South Africa will not issue the letters of permission you need to complete adoptions abroad. The Children's Act was supposed to be implemented in April, but so far nobody from the Central Authority will answer me to say if it was done or not. The only thing you can be sure of is that you will get zero assistance from the South African side.
