HAS ANYBODY ADOPTED A CHILD? HERE OR ABROAD? ADVICE NEEDED!

[ThinkingAboutAdoption]

Hiya

I have namechanged as several of my family members browse MN and we have only just started to think about this and don't want to tell anyone yet.

Basically Id like any info I can get.

Whats the process for UK adoption, timeframe, cost ect.

How much does it cost to adopt from abroad?

I would really like a daughter as I have all sons, is this possible to specify??

This is all very random I know, but this is the beginning of my thinkings and so I am rambling.

Thanks In Advance!

There's a specific MN adoption board here -- may be a good idea to check out some recent threads and then post your question there to attract the attention of the experts .

Ah right thanks,

just been 'googling' and theres no way we could afford to adopt from abroad
