We have been in touch with the cameroons.Has anyone done this before for a capuchin monkey.

Or do you know a site that sells them.

Perhaps you better educate yourselves before buying a monkey for children:

Monkeys are by no means easy pets to keep,and as they can live to be 40 or even 50 years old in captivity, you really need to make sure you are ready for a long-term commitment before adding a pet monkey to your household.
