Welcome to the International Adoption Guide
I am always astounded at how many children there are in the world who are growing up without a family. Little one waiting for someone to call 'Mummy' and 'Daddy'. And how many people open their heart to the idea of adoption, but then fail to act. Unless you take steps today, those children will spend their whole childhood in an orphanage or foster home only to leave with no hope, no dreams and no prospects for a good future. And you have a future ahead devoid and empty of parental love.
I hope this message finds you and your family healthy in this strange time. I know you have been interested in adoption for a while and I wanted to let you know that whilst we are all in lockdown I am offering my consultations for half price. This means that you can get a full understanding of:
1. The complete process from where you stand now to bringing your child home
2. What is expected of you
3. From where you will be able to adopt
4. Which children are available to be adopted
5. Who are the people with whom you need to engage
6. How much your adoption will cost
7. How long your adoption will take
8. Tips on what they are looking for in your home study
9. Information about your medical assessment
10. Choosing the right referees
11. Advice about your documentation
12. Legalising and appostilling your documents
13. Where you can find peer support
14. What obstacle you might come across
15. How to emotionally prepare yourself
16. How to parent your child
17. Answer any and all questions you have
As you can see it is a very comprehensive and very informative and at the end you will have an accurate roadmap of where you are going, when you are going to get there and what you need to get there. This makes it much more real and manageable and lets you plan appropriately. I see my role as that for the child who is waiting to be adopted. We do not want you to give up or to delay your plans, as there is someone now waiting to call you mum and dad.
We, International Adoption Guide and Carolina Giradelli are now facilitating adoptions in several countries. For our first family who adopted from there, the whole adoption - from the first meeting with me to bringing their daughter home and her gaining British citizenship took exactly 3 years. We supported them throughout the whole process, and as it was a new process there were a few wrinkles to be ironed out which we have done and we now have a great team to support you, therefore the adoption will be shorter, especially if you are adopting older children.

I know how confusing the concept of adoption is, how complex the understanding of the process. But I also know the incredible joy of creating a family through adoption and the wonderful knowledge that a child is forever taken from a place of deprivation and poverty, into one of love and security. And for me there is nothing more beautiful and meaningful.
Do not listen to all the scare stories out there - remember that media loves a bit of drama! Listen to your heart - you know best. Adoption is a powerful act and if you have been called to it, then you have been given the capacity to handle everything that comes your way. International adoption is a deed of true love, and one which is beneficial to all. I know this, as I live it every day, since I bought my child home from Russia 13 years ago.
I understand how fear drives one and how we can be paralized by it. I am here to allay that fear and to give you the tools that you need to feel empowered to act to become a family.
