This excludes the South African agency costs and the travelling costs to India. If you adopt twins or siblings the rate is double, that is USD24000. They have also told us that if we cannot pay this donation we should not bother to contact them as they will not consider our application. They also need 50 to 75% of the donation when you submit your application. This has put a huge strain on South African couples as when we did our first adoptions with Preet Mandir the donation required was USD4000 to USD6000 per child. We have approximately 10 couples who are ready to adopt their second child. Unfortunately our local agency does not have contact with any other agencies in India other then Preet Mandir. So it looks like we may not be able to adopt a second child from India. I hope that the above information is useful to you and I hope that we will find another more ethical agency in India that will work with us. We are investigating Shradanand Mahila in Mumbai and we are waiting for them to confirm if they will work with us. Have any of you worked with this agency and what is your feeling about them." YAHOO!
