According to this Decree, the total number of the dossiers that can be accepted from all foreign citizens during calendar year 2008 is 1,453 dossiers. This number is a grand total and will not be subdivided by country or by specific categories of children. Decree #4939 cancels Decree #4137, which was the basis for the Embassy’s public notice of December 12, 2007.We understand that your local Power-of-Attorney must show a complete adoption dossier to sign up with the SDAPRC.
