International adoption can be overwhelming. I felt good when I found New Hope for Children. What has happened in the years since has been frustrating and heart breaking to downright criminal. We tried to adopt my niece and nephew. We were told a process and followed it. After years we learned there was no process. We were handed off to another agency in that country and the process kept changing. They were supposedly trying to get a death certificate for the children's mother. After a year we went to that country's embassy and the ambassador worked on our case. The agency said there was no such request and then came back and said that adoption is not possible.
