As the majority of the sending countries are exporting children with special needs (correctable and non-correctable) the trend will increase and move away from healthy children. This book is a valuable tool for evaluating whether a child could benefit from adoption and what medical plans to make for your child.

Another adoptive parent from Armenia is stating that Armenian Adoptions of healthy children is not a safe bet.

If you have followed my blog, you probably are amazed at what a relatively easy process my adoption was. In the world of international adoptions, it was. But if you are eying Armenia as the birthplace of your future adopted child, think twice.
There have been changes recently that make it more of a financial risk for the prospective adoptive parents. The biggest change is the need for the family to travel to Armenia to meet their referral "blindly." This means you will no longer receive any information or photos on the referral prior to traveling. So you arrive in Armenia to find out your child is extremely premature, or that you suspect fetal alcohol syndrome. You send photos to your international adoption doctor back in the states, and he has concerns about this. What do you do? Take the risk and accept this referral, or travel back to the states and wait for the next one.
I am not ashamed to say that we turned down a referral before we were blessed with Annalea. I cannot imagine finding out that this first child was not for us after traveling half way around the world. Imagine the long plane trip back knowing you will have to do it all over again.
So if you are thinking about adopting a healthy child in Armenia, think twice. Realize your wait will be at least 3 years and that financially it will be a risk and a toll on your pocketbook...never mind the emotional toll it will take. Realize that when I adopted, only parents who had Armenian heritage were allowed to adopt healthy infants, which is the reason my wait was under a year. Realize that the wait went from under a year to 3 years because of this. All I can say is thank God he led me to Annalea before all these changes happened
Actually this adoptive mother is correct, it is not a safe bet especially for Americans. Europeans have a unique system that is not based on a capitalistic system but rather the adoption is conducted (home study, etc.,) by the government branches.
ReplyDeleteAnother note here, even three years is no guarantee and be wary of any adoption agency that claims to have a 100% placement. There are many people waiting 3 years and they stil have no referral.
Another note on healthy infants, in the rare occasion a local Armenian family is not cleared to adopt, the infants are preferred to be in families with Armenian surnames where Armenian is spoken. Simply having Armenian heritage isn't enough, but a command of the language and traditions.
Much more uncorrectable needs will be available rather than correctable.
Why did she take this down off of her blog?
ReplyDeleteI don't know? maybe the Truth was too much and she was asked to take it down.
