Information abou Uganda

First off, what country are you living in now? And what is your country of citizenship? I'm asking because the answer to your question has to be based on issues related to your specific situation. As an example, you need to be aware that, if you are living in the U.S., but neither you nor your spouse (if you are marrried) holds U.S. citizenship, you will not be able to bring a child into the U.S. on an adoption visa, even if you complete a legal adoption in Uganda. You would have to live overseas with the child for at least two years before bringing the child home on a dependent visa. Also, some countries give preference to families who are of the same ethnic heritage as the child that they plan to adopt. Uganda has more liberal rules for people of Ugandan heritage than for people who are not Ugandan. As an example, non-Ugandans generally need to reside in Uganda and foster the child for three years before an adoption can be granted, although these rules can be waived in some cases; people of Ugandan origin do not have this restriction. To determine if you meet the Ugandan requirements to adopt, there is a good description of those requirements on [url=http://adoption.state.gov/country/uganda.html]Country Specific Information for uganda.htm[/url]. It is the website of the U.S. State Department, which keeps track of the laws of foreign countries, concerning adoption. This information also has other good information about Uganda's adoption process. Sharon
