are there any less expensive adoption routes. Less than $10k? Do you have to be married?

The Creating a Family website has a recently updated adoption chart for Haiti. I found it helpful in learning about the basic factors you need to know when considering a Haiti adoption. Hope you find it helpful as well.

We are in the process of adopting a 1 year old boy from Haiti, we are working with CASI Foundation for children. We started the whole thing in Feb. 07, our Dossier just got out of Minister of Foriegn Affairs, and is being prepared for IBESR. We had thought from the beginning that we were not going to go to Haiti at all for the adoption process, but now CASI is saying it will be hard, if not impossible and possible delays if we do not go to Haiti. I have no problem with going to Haiti, anything to make the process quicker, but my husband is really against going to Haiti.(Safety reasons) Can people that have been there, please let me know how it is down there,
I am very new to this chatting thing, I am not even sure how you read all this stuff!
Thanks for help from anyone!

Hey guys
My husband and I are thinking about adopting a child in Haiti, my husband was born in Haiti and lived in an orphanage for 2 years. He found his family and came to America. It’s something we always wanted to do. We just don’t know where to start. Please help

My family is in the process of adopting a 5 year old girl from the Bresma orphanage in Port Au Price. We have been at it since Late January and entered IBESR mid May. We were recently told that due to the current delays in MOI, we can expect to get our daughter home next spring. We have traveled to Haiti twice this year and will return again in December. We are able to spend the entire time with our daughter. She is only 5 so we need to reassure her that we are still here for her and that eventually she will join our family.
I stronly recommend making the trip to Haiti. You will appr34eciate the plight of the Haitian people as well as the orphans and at the same time spend important time bonding with your child.
If you choose to go, please write back to me. There is much you need to understand BEFORE making this journey.

Jane: We adopted from Haiti in late 2005 from New Life Link, using Heritage Adoption. The difficulties with IBESR and the Ministry of Interior resulted in my husband having to make a trip to Port-au-Prince to facilitate the passport and other papers. But our son is a complete joy, very healthy and loving. He was in the orphange for 1 year and was 20 months when we brought him home.

Angela, I too am just now exploring Haiti adoption and found your post very informative, thank you. Are you proceeding with Haiti adoption, and if so, what agency are you using and how is it going?

We used Wasatch adoptions for our China adoption. They work with Foyer de Sion. We adopted Lilly from a orphanage nemed Petit angels de chantel in port au prince. You can do an independent adoption through them. The kids are amazing and the director takes the best care of her kids and their families. There website is http://www.littleangelshaiti.org
