My husband has a two year son who resides with him in Jamaica, and I live in the US. I am their sole source of financial support and intend on adopting the little boy. I will be filing for citizenship in 2009. My questions are these: Should I begin the adoption process now (in time for citizenship), once this goes through how would the 2 year residency requirement affect us? Or Would it be better to just file as a step parent after becoming a citizen?
