Child Adoption in Poland? [138]
Those are the rules, Yes, but it depends on
who you know. !!!
For example. My brother adopted twins. A boy and a girl. The adoption agency and the doctor, who worked for us, said the girl - who was healthy - had an enlarged head, which made her adoptable according to their rules. She was born with water in her brain, but it wasn't serious and went away. She and her brother are now 16 years old. Happy and healthy.
My sister adopted a girl. The rules also state that you have to be married, she wasn't. So the staff had a meeting with her and decided they will let her adopt. The girl she adopted was placed first in a Polish home, but the people didn't care for her properly and was returned to the orphanage. And they also stated that something was wrong with her, in order to follow the rules.
One family adopted 3 children, another 2 girls, and another 3 boys. All healthy.
It all comes down to
who you know.
It's easier to adopt 2 or 3 siblings together and older children because they are harder to place in homes in Poland.
