We are looking to adopt a child from Nepal and are seeking some advice from people who have been through the same. We know that going through an agency is very costly and time consuming. We were thinking of directly going to Nepal and adopting from an orphanage.
Does anyone have similar kind of experience or suggestions about the possibilities of doing so? What immigration obstacles would we face? Is our current status going be a hindrance? (My spouse is a citizen and I am a Green Card holder). Would it help if both of us are a U.S. citizen?
We would really appreciate if someone could guide us through the entire process or provide suggestions.

Bacchi,

Send me an email at kabre6@yahoo.com. I know someone who has done that before and is going to adopt a baby from nepal very soon. they were in the same situation ( US citiizen and Green Card)

I know this thread has been years ago, but we are just not sure how to proceed. Online informations and search does not lead to much. We are also planning to go to Nepal directly and adopt from there.
@ Bacchi - by this time you must have already adopted. What was the process and how long did it take it for you. If you could share your experiences, we would highly appreciate it.
@RajaHarischandra: Can you also share your experience here please.
Or, anybody else, who has gone through this process or knows someone who went through the similar process. Thank you so much

Any Body with any sort of information or similar experience ???

I have seen many Nepali kids adopted by white Americans and the few who I have talked to, all went through agency. It was expensive and took 5-6 years average.
