Yup, it was done overseas. Costs an arm and leg but definitely worth it. All for the laughter of a child at home plus his hugs and kisses. :)

@ Cadelaria and Halia - Yes, the procedure is getting more difficult but eventually it's all worth it. Though there are a few stories that adoption gets unsuccessful as per the countries changing adoption policies and laws.

So true. That's why couples should give extra caution in taking steps for adoption as the risk of a successful one is high. It's terrible waiting and spending money for a child which wouldn't be legally adopted eventually due to revisions in regulations.

Yes, couples wanting to adopt overseas should have a clear cut rules and regulations on the said intention. It's a waste of time, money, energy and too much emotional stress of not having the child a couple has been wanting very badly due to a lapse in information.
