" MAY (EFA) did not make cards for all the countries in which one can adopt, in particular for the countries where the adoptions are extremely rare. If you wish to adopt in a country for which MAY did not make cards, you can: - to request MAY because it can communicate information to you; - to contact the embassy or the consulate of France in the country concerned and/or the embassy or the consulate of the country concerned in France; - to contact your EFA secondary road , which will be able to perhaps put to you in relation to people having adopted in this country; - to launch a call on our forum or our lists of discussion .
