I have a friend that adopted from Africa. Her nad her husband have 3 bioligical children but they had gone there for missionary work one summer. After being there they felt led by god to adopt. They wanted an open adoption as well. I'm not sure exactly how it happened but they adopted twin gilrs from a family with 4 other children. They kept in touch for 6 months, then they went a month without hearing anything from the family. When they finally did the twins dad had been killed in an accident. The birth mother couldn't afford to keep the other 4 children and wanted them to adopt these as well. Now they have 9 children. They decided when this happened that they will buy the birth mother a computer and they now are able to communicate every day. She say's it has been hard but very rewarding as well.
