If the children are U.S. citizens without dual citizenship for the country of the proposed guardian, then it would be very difficult and not practical to provide for this arrangement. If the children are citizens of the other country, then arrangement is possible. However, a meaningful discussion of the practical issues of relocating children to another country should occur (language and cultural fluency, educational system differences, social adjustment/friendships, etc.).</div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p><div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">________________________________________________________________</span><span style=""></span></div></div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="ecxapple-style-span"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Daniel G.
