Hi,
my wife and I have a son and have been considering adopting for some time. Obviously, with our move to NZ rapidly approaching, we have had to forget our adoption thoughts.
I was just wanting to know if anyone knows how long you have to live in NZ and what permit status/citizenship is required??
Any info appreciated
Thanks
Nick

We have also been considering adopting/fostering in NZ. Will be interesting to read any thoughts/ replies from folk in the know :smile
