Hello, I am new to this adoption forum, but came across it today and hoping someone can help my wife and I.
We are both here in the USA on working visas (I am on R1 and my wife OPT visa), and have just applied for Greencards - which should take about a year.
However we have been told by reputable adoption agencies such as Bethany Christian Services that we cannot do a domestic adoption here in the USA unless we are citizens. Other similar agencies have told us the same thing. I have recently discovered however that other internationals on H1B visas have been able to adopt domestically here.
Can someone point me in the right direction/point me to agencies etc who may be able to assist, or let me know if you have had the same experience.
My wife and I would really love to adopt, after not being able to have our own biological child, and we plan to live in the USA, at least for a longer period of time.
