Adoptive Parent Trapped in Nepal

Earlier this year, Candice Warltier traveled to Nepal to finalize her adoption of a little girl. While she was enroute to Nepal, U.S. policy regarding adoptions from that country changed, and now Candice is stuck there, and fighting for her daughter.

Candice has been living in Nepal for seven weeks, unable to bring Antara [her daughter] home. She thought she would be away from her job for a month, but now the absence from her source of income is indefinite.

Candice’s mother took retirement from her own job so she could go to Nepal and help out. Her mother spent a precious month in Nepal, but recently she needed to return to America to mange her own affairs."  - Source: The Daily Review (PA)

Candice has rented an apartment and continues to meet with U.S. and Nepalese government officials to try and complete the adoption process so she can take her daughter home.

This is heartbreaking. In a perfect world, countries would set aside differences long enough to enable a needy child to go home with a loving parent.
