Anyone else adopting from Kenya?

May 29, 2009

Hello,

I am a Canadian living in Kenya. We are in the process of adopting our 6 month old daughter, and are looking for other families who might also be adopting (or have adopted) from Kenya. If you are, or have, I would love to hear about your journey!

Many blessings to you all...

Hi,

We are a young couple from Canada looking to adopt a child from Africa and we would like to know of a good agency or tips that may help us.

Thanks for your help and best of luck.

Kenya has very long residency requirements that make it difficult for some - they require a 3 month in-county bonding period, and then you must also remain in country through the court process which follows- which is another 3 month minimum.

If you want more info feel free to pm me!

We are in the process of adopting from Kenya. I know 2 American families that are in Kenya now fostering their children prior to finalizing their adoption process there.

My husband and I are moving back to Tanzania next month - I believe the process is somewhat similar, although it can take much longer in TZ. I run a nonprofit working with an orphanage, and have known these two children since they were 1 and 3 years old - they are now 3 and (about to be!) 5, and we are all set to get custody in April. We're very excited and nervous - it's easier in some ways because we know and adore them already, but it will still be a big change! Can't wait, though - struggling to manage getting through the last 3 weeks until we get to leave!
