Hi there,
We have considered adopting a child from overseas but we've just found out that Australia doesn't have an agreement with her country and we can't apply to adopt her.
She is an older child (7) and we would like to bring her here to give her a family, an education and a chance at a better life. We have full approval in her country, it's in Australia we seem to have hit a major snag.
I know there's a way somehow, we just have to find it. Maybe a long term student visa and apply to adopt her once she's here?
Can anyone offer any advice at all?
Thanks :)
