i know you said adoption is difficult in cambodia , is it going to change? i was thinking of adopting. im cambodian would it be easier to adopt from there?

[metameulenbelt]

It is impossible for American citizens (and for some other citizens too). So if you're an American citizen, I don't think it will be possible. If you're Cambodian and living in Cambodia or many other countries, it is certainly possible to adopt there.

Do you have any tips for people who might adopt in Cambodia? Thanks and congratulations.

Adoption from Cambodia is very difficult at the moment. It depends on where you live and what nationality you have if it would be possible at all.

thank you that was beautifully done. i'd like to know the song, it really moved me. i am a 36yo adoptee and recently reunited with my birth mother. i often dont realise how much my adoptive parents care about me, but this was a timely reminder. i encourage you to keep Mean aware of her roots as they are an important part of who we are. as a same-race adoptee it never seemed important to my parents but believe me it is! thanks and god bless.

Absolutly beautiful, it made me cry. My family have been working with the Cambodians for over 30 years now. We have crisis centre in Battambang which my sister is trying to adopt a little girl from there. So hard, so many rules which change every day. If you wish to check out my you tube video, Shona and Coopers trip to Cambodia. You are one of the lucky ones cherish her :)

Just happens it is one the news all day about twar crimes trials in Cambodia. Their people have suffered so much and the life expectancy, even now, is about 40. Cambodians are a gentle people. Your daughter has huge eyes and looks very nice. Bless.

This video is so beautiful and heartwarming. I am going to adopt when I'm a bit older and I would love to adopt from Cambodia. Hopefully they'll have lifted the ban in 5 or so years! I've visited Cambodia and it is a wonderful place with such strong, kind and welcoming people. It was very sad to visit the orphanages and to see all those children in need of a home. Thanks for posting this. Hopefully one day I can do the same :)

This is truly beautiful. I have spent two years in Cambodia as a volunteer in rural villages, some of the work involving local orphanages. It is touching and truly beautiful to see your love for Cambodia, and for Mean.
