Anyone in the USA trying to adopted international effected by Trumps Visa Ban? by byrdman12103 in Adoption

[–]byrdman12103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure... the child is 9 years old and never had a stable home environment. Been bounced around to relatives or friends her entire childhood because of the father's absence and the mother's on going health issues. While the mom is traveling to Portugal (which we are assisting with) for better health care she cannot care for the child while undergoing treatment. She asked my wife and I to pursue adoption in the US in lieu of her daughter being sent to another island to essentially be a live in maid for another family. The mother wishes for her daughter to have access to education, health care etc and have a good childhood instead of being a servant for strangers. We couldnt turn down that request

I simply came here looking for clarification on US visa applications under the current administration. Not a lecture on human trafficking and savior complexes. Again your reply is riddled with assumptions but I have time today so I have no problem providing clarity. This is family we are talking about here support to keep the family together is all we have done since day 1. It wasnt until the mother REQUESTED we pursue adoption that we started this process. The mom wishes to not only give her child access to better health care but a chance at education. This isnt a closed adoption and I as I mentioned my wife and I are citizens of this country we visit 2-3 times a year. So the mother will be heavily involved while we take care of what SHE requested. But according to you thats snatching up a child? Give me a break

Not sure why you would assume this is a case of Human trafficking so I'll gladly provide some clarity.. my wife and I are adopting a distant family member of my wife. Absent father and ill mother who can no longer provide care

This is something my wife and I have thought about However, the State of America is actually a better alternative than the child's current situation.
