And did get into a little of the difficulty of adopting and what they are starting to do to form families for orphans.Ann Tamimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915646056815128431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-12774765945551165282008-07-31T08:36:00.000+03:002008-07-31T08:36:00.000+03:00Nz, you should do a post on this - on why it is th...Nz, you should do a post on this - on why it is that once a child gets to a orphanage it is so difficult to adopt.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-55017466789909400572008-07-30T23:36:00.000+03:002008-07-30T23:36:00.000+03:00since the baby was three months, it probably means...since the baby was three months, it probably means that the woman is a widow and that the chid is without a father. That is a legitimate orphan in this country. My SIL's kids are seen as orphans although their mother is alive and well. <BR/><BR/>L- here it is very difficult to adopt. But if you could ever talk your man into it.. just please the family by nursing which should calm their fears a bit. There are families here that have found babies (yes like the old movies babies are dropped at door steps) and simply kept them for their own. Once they get in an orphanage very difficult to adopt here.Ann Tamimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915646056815128431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-63640451892004578582008-07-30T16:54:00.000+03:002008-07-30T16:54:00.000+03:00I think you translated the matter quite well, Verm...I think you translated the matter quite well, Vermindust.

Very, very sore spot still. I am still trying to work on adopting a baby here, but the stigma placed on them from society is still wacked.
