I have no advice but I'll bump this back to the top for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/expats-adopting#post-395666 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:11:19 +0000 Arden 395666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there are a few adoption experts or at least heavily researched people here, so I'd love some input on this. </p> <p>We're aid workers, which means we typically live overseas. We're back in the USA right now, but next year we'll be moving to Kosovo where we'll be for 6-12 years (with three month visits to the USA every two years). </p> <p>During that period of time we would very much like to adopt internationally, but I don't know what the process would be for someone living overseas. I'm not even sure if it's possible. Could we even get a home study and everything else required as a prerequisite while living overseas?</p> <p>I'm not sure where to begin... </p>
