What country has the least red tape when you want to adopt from there country ?
How much dose the adoption cost?
Adoptions vary from state to state, country to country. The fees associated with them vary due to that as well. You have government processing fees (visa, passport), orphanage fees, travel costs to and from (hotel, airplane, etc), medical costs, lawyer fees, adoption agency fees, home study fees, etc.
Countries change their rules all the time, and as such there's no one true answer. However, with all that said, fees are typically $8,000-$10,000 for a domestic adoption, and anywhere from $10,000-$25,000 for international. The time it takes to adopt varies as well from 8 months to 2 years or so, depending upon many factors.
Sometimes, you have to make multiple trips (some Russian trips are like this), and other times, in rare cases, the country will allow the child to be flown to the U.S. We rather enjoyed visiting our child's country and meeting the people and learning the culture, so as she grows we can tell her about it and the experience.
You are dealing with a foreign country and are at their mercy if they change their rules. Some countries aren't as honest about the health of the child, such as the case in some (NOT all) Russian adoptions. Or, you can run into problems with children, unfortunately being stolen and put into adoption, so countries such as Guatelmala will have a waiting period for them to do DNA checks (a few months sometimes). Other countries such as China will decide to change their rules (which is their right) and decide that if you are "ugly" (not kidding) or overweight, or old, then you may not adopt from them, whereas, none of these were factors up until recently. So, the rules may change rapidly (although if you had your paperwork in, I believe you were exempt from the new rules).
Red tape is difficult no matter what. International, or any adoption is a tricky thing as it pulls at your heart-strings, and it's easy for people here to be flippant in their answers about it, because they are not the ones going through it, and quite frankly don't understand all that is sometimes involved.
We've adopted a child from China and always went with the idea to go with the flow and do whatever we can to make our child and other children's lives better in any way possible. One of the reasons that we chose China at the time, was because they were very strict in their rules, but also for the most part, straightforward about the process and the health of the children. We would love to adopt a special needs child in the near future, but as you may imagine in doing so, you often need to make sure you have the time, proper health care, work capabilities as well. You never know in life, but for the sake of the child, it's best to be able to handle what you can.
We brought gifts for the orphanage and embraced and thanked them as much as possible and continue to send support when we can. We hope to return to visit someday.
Red tape can appear out of nowhere such as the case of SARS when we were adopting, and our adoption was put on hold right after we received our official paperwork and were ready to leave. So, although it was hard to delay the process any more than it was, it was understandable, for the health of all people traveling, etc. By having the unexpected delay, we then had to get paperwork done all over again, due to the fact that some paperwork is only good for a year or so, and then we had to go get them done again, causing time and money delays. We needed new physicals done, a new home study, etc.
Adoption is not an easy choice and shouldn't be thought of lightly, as it is not for everyone. In all honesty, having children in itself is nothing but "red tape" as being a parent is a non-stop lifetime experience. The red tape just helps to weed out those who may not be up to the challenge. Good luck.
