Answer 1

Why the h-ll would you think you are ready to adopt a child at 20???

Answer 2

INSTEAD OF TAKING THIS CHILD FROM HIS MOTHER TO BE RAISED IN CA. WHY NOT SEND HER SOME AMERICAN CASH MONTHY TO HELP HER ALONG.  

IT'S EASY, JUST GO TO A BANK TO ASK HOW TO WIRE $$$$.

Answer 3

Sorry but it doesn't sound like you are ready to adopt a child, let alone one not from USA.  You need to hook up with a group that does this sort of thing so they can help you.  I know you think it is a good idea and I think it is nice you are considering helping a child in such a way but you may want to consider doing this married or after you have been in a long term relationship with your g/f.  Stability is what a child needs.  If you are taking him from an unstable place to make life better then you need to make yourself stable first.

Good luck!

Answer 4

yeah...sounds legal to me.

Answer 5

Sounds like you do not have the first clue to what you are even doing!!!    Hopefully you choose against this and wait until you grow up a little...sorry just sounds like you are not ready.

Answer 6

You need to consult an immigration attorney not yahoo answers!!

Answer 7

your a good person for doing something like that.

Answer 8

First of all I hope that you have a lawyer and have already met this woman in person with the child. Me and my husband got caught up in something like this last year. We went to a website to post a bulletin that we were looking to adopt and we got a few responses of people that would let us adopt their child. One person claimed to be a pastor of a church in Georgia and knew someone that wanted to allow someone to adopt her child his lawyer would take care of everything all we had to do was make a donation of any amount to an orphanage in Cameroon. they sent me what looked like a real court documentation that stated me and my husband we now the legal parents of little Kenny when i called the number to the court there it was a real court but they had no record of what i was talking about. since then i have spoke with the attorney general and FBI members IT IS A SCAM.  You have no idea how these things work. If you want to adopt get you an agency and they will find you a child make sure it is legal. or you might end up spending alot of money and get no child in return.
