Has any used either MLJ or adopted from Congo?
I don't think we qualify as we already have 3 children, it says limit is 2, as far as existing children in the household. But curious to see if anyone else has feedback on either.
Thanks!!
That is wonderful! Congrats! Unfortunately we were held up with USCIS for 4 months! The families that were around the same time frame have already returned with their children! We got it worked out though and are waiting for our court approval to adopt a 1 year old little girl :)

We are heavily considering the DRC as well. If anyone has any advice for us (good/bad agency, tips, what to expect, etc..) it would be greatly appreciated. Either post or PM me, whichever is appropriate.
We just accepted a completely surprise referral of a 2 year old little girl from DRC. We were considering another adoption and thinking about international, specifically Africa, and then got an e-mail offering us this referral so we accepted! We're just starting the HS and paper chase and we hope that she will be home over the summer!

Congratulations to you both! We are hoping to head down to get our daughter next month!
I would like info on that. Do you know if the worked with One World Adoption Services?
Hello all -
My wife and I are looking into adopting from the DRC. If anyone has info about their adoption, the process, agency experiences, etc. we would love to hear it. Please PM me with any info you are willing to share. Thank you and blessings!
I was told by MLJ that we are allowed to adopt from Congo even though we have 3 children already... Can anyone tell me if they know this to be true?! I would hate to be led on and then be told we can only get a child we are not interested in (older, special needs, etc...)
We want to adopt two babies or young siblings.
Thanks!!

Anyone have info on One World Adoption?
Compassionate Hearts?
Children of All Nations? (Great Wall's 'other' countries)
Wasatch?
Wide Horizons?
Any other agencies?
We currently live in Florida, but we won't be starting until we complete a move to New Mexico.
Thanks!
I would like information on DRC adoption. Specifically the dossier requirements as of 2011 and any information on the following agencies that provide adoption from Congo:
Children of All Nations
Hands Across the Water
All Blessings International
I'm getting information that the program has it's risks, as some agencies are in "Pilot" programs. Please send a private message. Thank you in advance for the information.

I'd appreciate a PM on Children of All Nations as well DRC or Uganda.
Thanks!

Ditto here. We have 5 and MLJ said no problem. Everything else has indicated 2 max. Would love to get a pm on agency experiences. And are the MLJ fees the norm for Congo? They seem much higher than other programs I've looked at.
My husband and I are stepping into the waters of international adoption and are feeling strongly pulled toward the DRC.
Searching for an agency is pretty overwhelming!
Could someone please PM me or email (keganshert@gmail.com) any information they have on:
- Children of all Nations (CAN)
- MLJ (pilot program)
- Lifeline (pilot program)
- One World (I've read a lot of confusing mixed reviews on this one!)
- any other agency that has a DRC program
Thank you so much in advance for any and all information you might be able to give me!
