Hello. My husband has a cousin living in Texas who has been trying to adopt a child from Africa as they were there as missionaries for I think 2 years. They have to raise 15,000. to help pay for something. Don't know if it was fees from there. They have selected a tiny little girl as the famine is so bad. Good Luck with all of the things to do. It is very worthwhile. Its a lot like haveing another baby , you will love it no matter if its a boy or a girl.
