krysia: You first need to have a home study done, tranlated into Polish, then contact an orphanage. Best to have a knowlegable lawyer working with you. Could take about a year or so. Hi Krysia,
My boyfriend and I are planning to adopt when we are ready to have children. Right now we are entering grad school but I like to plan ahead. I have always wanted to adopt either instead or in addition to physically having children myself. Originally I was drawn to the Ukraine because I am of Ukrainian descent. However, I keep reading really terrible stories about adopting from there and am looking into other options. Four years ago we took a winter trip and used a rail pass to visit 5 countries including Poland and absolutely loved it! Specifically we went to Krakow and Zakopane. It was so beautiful and made such an impression on us that we are considering getting married there. Do you know if there are orphanages in the Tatra region? That area was so beautiful and sentimental that we would love an additional reason to go there regularly. ;)
Because this is so far in advance, do you have any advice for us? I assume, learning Polish is probably a good start. Is there anything else we could do that would be helpful? This won't happen until the timing is right on our end so we literally have years to prepare.
Thank you so much for all your advice on this forum. ~ Sara (Sarandipitty@yahoo.com)
