No. she's from a state owned one. Why? Do catholic ones have different regulations and prices?

The prices vary depending on the age of the child and how many you adopt and who you know.
They can range anywhere from $4.000 for an older child to about $7.000. But that does not include the necessary paperwork such as translations, home studies, travel, etc.

Life / Child Adoption in Poland? [138]

We know the director of the orphanage personally. We didn't have to bribe her. She was actually glad these children went to the US, because the air is healthier and the families that adopted them had to show their income which proved that they were capable of giving them the best opportunities in life. That's why they want foreigners to adopt unhealthy children, because the doctors in the US are more advanced in medicine than in Poland.

Life / 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.

My brother adopted twins from Poland, my sister adopted 3 girls, one from Poland and two from Russia, and I've helped several families adopt children from Poland, so I know a lot about this.

Food / Kopytka, pyzy, kluski [60]

you are right jeane. Potato flour is the best to use, but you cannot always get it so that's why I said regular flour. You can see what tastes better.

There are also "kluski śląskie" which are similair to "kopytka" but you use raw potatos instead.

Food / Kopytka, pyzy, kluski [60]

To make kopytka you need to peel and boil about 6 potatoes.Then you mash them and wait till they cool off. Then mix in 1/2 cup flour, 2 eggs and a pinch of salt. Mash everything together and roll it out so it looks like a snake. If it's too lose, then add some more flour, if too stiff, you can add some milk to losen it up. Then cut little rectangles in shape of kopytkas (little hoofs). Boil some salted water and drop them things in it. let them come up to the top and boil about 2 minutes, fish them out and place in a dish.

You can use any sauce you like, most popular are tiny little fried bacon bits or mushroom sauce.
Smacznego!!
(If they turn out )

You have an "x"????
Welcome to the club.
My "x" went and neutered himself like a dog without telling me. Among other dirty, rotten things he's done.
My son is 3. He's mama's boy.

You're not old at all. You look very young, like you're 30-ish. How old is your son?

OK, plg. Try to say this:

" W Szczebrzeżynie, chrząszcz brzmi w Trzcinie"

It was nice of you to admit the truth behind your sudden knowledge of the Polish language.....

Either you are very talented, are working very hard at it, have a good teacher or are just lucky.
You are doing well. But speaking it would be another story....
