Question for those of you who have/are going through the process of adopting outside of the US...do agencies make any kind of judgement as to whether or not the interested parents are suitable or stable enough for adopting?
Some relations of my DHs have decided they want to adopt a baby from China because they've been continuously having marital problems (mainly due to them not being able to have children). We're talking about 4+ years now of on again off again separations, etc. They've pretty much decided that adopting a baby will be the thing that will save their marriage. (That is their exact wording.) :( It just REALLY bothers me that they're thinking this. I don't think having a baby or adopting a baby is a solution to marriage problems, regardless of what is causing them. That's why I'm wondering if the adoption agencies do any kind of interviewing, etc. of the people that approach them about adopting to determine if they'd be suitable for making an adoption.
TIA,
Jennifer
