can I BRING AN ORPHAN HOME

[sbsuib]

I have fallen in love with many children at an orphanage in Santiago. Can I bring them to the states for a long visit-maybe next summer-many of these kids have parents who are alive but unable to care for them- they could stay with our families in the states and have a great summer or school semester. Is this possible<

Yes, if you obtain: a) an authorization from the guardian of the child, and b) a visa from the US consulate.

the permission will be easy- how hard is it to get a visa for a kid with permission from their parent- how long can they stay- also we have many who are parentless in this orphanage- we would like visas to bring them over for a summer camp next summer- how hard will this be?

You should enquire at the US consulate.
