I haven't read much about the process for men who are involved with ladies with children. I'm wondering, for those who's children are pre-teen or even younger if any have gone through the adoption process? Is this something that needs to be done on the China side or something to implement after they arrive to your homeland? (in my case the US)
I do understand that there might be some time involved. Perhaps with older children, say 15 or older, that the process might take so long that by the time it's complete the child would be over 18, and in the US that means they can become legally independent and kind of makes the adoption process a mute point.
I'd be interested in hearing some thoughts.
