Can a legal permanent resident adopt a US child?

[WonderingToo]

What is the name of your state? OK

Husband is American, I am a legal permanent resident (eligible to apply for citizenship, but haven't gotten around to it yet). We are going through DHS to adopt a child from the foster care system, but the adoption worker was unable to tell us (yet) if the fact of me not being a US citizen would pose a problem. While we don't believe this should be a problem, we would like to get a definite answer on this?

Thanks!

sounds like you already know the easiest way to alleviate the potential problem.

Yeah, thanks for your input.

Does anyone have a more direct answer? Thanks!

It should not be a problem.
