Default Question on adoption
I am a citizen of India. I will be a citizen of the US soon. My wife and I are planning to move to NZ and call it home. I will be applying for NZ permanent residency next year. I am originally from India with 15 years of IT experience in the US. Assuming that I will be getting the PR without any problem, I would like to know the procedure to adopt a child from India...

1. Should I get the PR and then seek for adoption?

2. Adopt a child and then apply for PR.

#2 is a long process as adopting a kid (from Inid) by a US citizen is usually a very long process. #1 is preferable, but I have no idea of the process of adoption. If I go thru #1, should I move to NZ before I can adopt a child. This is very important for my wife and I and so we would like to get as much info as possible. Could you point me to the right direction. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
