Hi,

My husband and I have been here for 2.5 years now and we are going to adopt locally in April/May of next year.聽 Does anyone have any tips or advice?聽 Anyone gone through the adoption process here as International Adoptees?聽 Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Would also love to meet some other Canadian expats!聽 Let me know, if you're interested.

Thanks,
Tanya

Welcome on board, Tanya

Hope that members soon share their adoption experience with you.

Also, to be in touch with other Canadians, view the Canadian expatriates in Kenya network.

All the best.

Regards
Sheetul

My family is currently attempting to do an international adoption with Kenya. Daunting I know! Hopefully the Canadian portion will be done by end of Dec. and hopefully doing the foster period in Jan-Feb!! I do know a Canadian living in Kenya who just completed a resident adoption. It took about a year but they are all done!

My girlfriend works as a Guardian Ad Leitum... one group that can help is "Little Angels" in Nairobi. I don't have contact details, but maybe if you google them.
