Question
Is impossible to adopt if my application have been denied?
Can I use adoption to get green card and get a stay with a genuine desire to adopt?
If I have SSS number and ID if my application for stay is denied?
Betty, you have several questions here but not all of them can be adequately answered without more information.
I am confused as to what application has been denied? If an adoption application has been denied, why was it denied? There are many reasons such as an incomplete application that can be remedied and many reasons that could mean that you may not be approved to adopt.
To my knowledge adoption is not a reason to be approved for a green card.
It appears that many of your questions would best be answered by an immigration attorney.
I wish you the very best.

Before starting Adoption STAR. Michele worked as an educator in Pennsylvania and then after she and her husband adopted their first child, she entered the field of adoption. In 1989 she founded an adoption agency licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Michele’s own family began to grow and they chose to return home to Western New York. Michele began working locally as an Inclusion Coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities.
As the years went by, Michele was inspired by the great need for a passionate, advocacy based, non-profit child-welfare agency in this area and so Adoption STAR was born in March of 2000! Michele is very proud of the work Adoption STAR has done and continues to do, and states she is touched by the incredible birth mothers that work with the agency.
