I have seen many Nepali kids adopted by white Americans and the few who I have talked to, all went through agency. It was expensive and took 5-6 years average. I am not an expert but I think you might (might) be able to avoid the agency in America and avoid some fees but you will have to know all the paperwork. It might not be worthy. You will have to deal directly with the State Department and the Homeland Security. Avoiding agencies in America and Nepali means you will have to prove to both the government that the kid that you want is indeed an orphan and that it is not a child for sale. It is a huge deal. Nepal might not care much but the US government is very strict about it. Few years ago, adoption from Nepal was banned cause of some stories of Nepali agency selling kids. I am not even sure if the US has lift the ban. Check it yourself.  If you think you can go to Nepal and pick up and kid and bring him/her here with little effort and little money, then you are far from the reality. It is NOT that easy regardless of your status here. Again, I am not an expert in this, just my 2 cents. Last edited: 01-Nov-15 02:08 PM
