Hi
My name is Seyed Morteza Hosseini
My wife and Fahimeh Ziai
I have been married for 5 years and have no children.
I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical from the Ukraine and now I'm working in a pharmacy. My Spouse is also a student of traditional medicine in Iran.
We have adopted and applied in our courts has confirmed.
Unfortunately in our country the child for adoption is not high and we must turn 3 years.
We are asking countries to international adoptions of children to accept?
If conditions and how much?
Please help us.
Thanks
