International adoption - as easy and as American as apple pie?!?

The sentence Kerry highlighted says it all: getting hold of children before the competition does.

We have said it many time, in many posts: the adoption industry claims to provide families for children in need of placement, but in reality they procure children to be sold to their paying customers.

Oddly enough, adoption agencies, when you scratch beneath the thin veneer of political correctness, are actually very open about their business savvy approach to adoption and this adoption agency is no exception.

All statements made with regards to this program show the business mentality behind the operation.

These two countries are not part of Hague convention, and adoption is not with court process.

In other words, the two countries are not bound to pesky international regulations, and even more important, because of that the adoption are not burdened with American Federal regulations either, after all  the State Department only oversees adoptions with Hague countries, but for adoptions with non-Hague countries, only visum requirements and state laws apply.

In both countries adoption is an administrative decision, and all the adoption papers must to be submitted for approval to the Ministry of Labor and Social Department, this institution has an office in each territory.

In other words, adoption is not a procedure decided in a court of law, but is decided by local authorities, who may very well benefit from the operation themselves, making it likely to receive easy approval.

It is not necessarily for families to travel too much in the country as all adoption procedures can be completed in the territory where the child is resident.

Great selling point, unless one realizes Serbia is about the size of Minnesota and Montenegro is only marginally bigger than Maryland. So if traveling were required it would only be a couple of hours, but still a great selling point.

After the adoptive parents accept the child, Ministry of Labor will approve the adoption in a special meeting, where the family need to be present too, the name of this meeting is “Ceremony of Adoption”, and the schedule of this meeting is made no more than one week from the date when the Ministry of Labor approved the adoption.

Wow, the ministry of Labor will not only approve the adoption, but will also throw you a celebration party.

After this official meeting, the local authorities will make all adoption papers; they change the biological parent’s names with adoptive parent’s names, the only condition that Serbian adoption law has is about child first name that cannot be changed, but if adoptive family wish that can do it in USA, in Montenegro is allow to be change too.

In other words, the Serbian and Montenegrin authorities will do everything for you to obfuscate the child's identity, though when adopting in Serbia, you will likely return home with a child called Dragan or Radmila. Of course that can be changed to David or Rachel in Pennsylvanian court.

The local authorities will issue an adoption decree that includes child’s history and adoption details, new birth certificate and passport.

That's all you need to know and if it's more than your child needs to know, just keep it to yourself.

All adoption papers translate in English language the family go to US Embassy for child visas, issued at the US Embassy in Belgrade.

Hmmm... some traveling required after all, but Belgrade is on the way back to the airport anyway.

This is the entire adoption process.

It's as easy as your ABC, it's so easy any fool can do it. Did we tell you how easy it is?

The families has must application for adoption with color copy of their US passport and POA for facilitator to get registration approval first, they will come after the approval is made , and after they accept the referral of child sent by facilitator.

Our subcontractor in Serbia and Montenegro will take care of all your business. (If there is anything fishy to the operation it's always our subcontractors fault).

The age of children’s that can be adopted by the foreign families is from 1 year up to 18 years old, with some special approval from authorities can be less than 1 year, but not younger than 3 months old.

Did we mention special needs. No we will never mention special needs. All our children are healthy according to our facilitator whom we trust 100% (unless things go wrong).

Adoptive parents must not be more than 45 years older than child adopted, but can be more than that with a special approval from Ministry of Labor.
Don't worry if you are older than 45, the countries are super-corrupt, so all you need to do is add some cash to your application forms.

The age of adopted child will be decided by US adoptive families only.

You can turn down any child you want to without any repercussion.

Single persons can adopt, with special approval of some authorities in Serbia, but not allowed in Montenegro.

Too bad we have to mention at least one caveat to an otherwise perfect program.

Adoption requirements: Adoption application, Home Study, A short adoptive family biography (one page), Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Medical Certificate, Police Certificate, Work certificate with details about: income and home, Passport color copy, BCIS Approval, Passport photos of adoptive parents.

Oh we forgot to mention, there are actually a few requirements, well we will help you with your home study anyway, so you simply can't fail to meet the requirements.

The program fees is 14 thousand dollars.

It's a bargain. Fourteen thousand dollars... when you subtract adoption tax credits and subsidies, it's almost for free. Did we mention how much of a bargain our program is.

Sometimes a child is less than one year but not younger that three months old.

We already said this before, but we'd like to repeat: Sometimes a child is less than one year. Did we mention that some of the children are less than one year old?

The adoption agencies doesn’t work here for now, so we can have a lot of children’s available, I don’t know for how long time will be like this but I am sure one or two more years we can do adoption without too much competition.

We are all for the free market, so we are in favor of having a monopoly (while it last). Without competition we can find the best children for you, our beloved customer. (We are aware that European Adoption Consultants raves about having a similar program, but we are still the only one).
