Ecuador: Kittens!:

What foundation do you have? Over the years we have adopted many dogs and cats we've found / rescued. and had them all operated on which has cost > $1000 so far. Good luck finding a home for the kittens though. I would offer but we lost 5 in the last 18 months so perhaps not the best place. 2 disappeared, one was killed by something and I found the vultures around her, 2 runts were just too small / too weak when we got them and didn't survive. The two we have now though have are about 8 months so hopefully we have broken the curse

Ecuador Welcome Forum: Loadsa questions:

Hi Not sure if you have looked into where to have the baby. I have been in Ecuador since 2012 and my wife has had two children. One in the local public hospital. Everything was fine, they were very accommodating, I was allowed in to the theatre for the caesarean operation. Only problem was during recovery and the next few days the head nurse was a bit awkward about letting me in to the womens lounge. Understandable as there were about 8 or so women there being checked on and they didn't want a man there making them uncomfortable. However the wife had no other family there to help her go to the toilet hold the baby, the other women said they didn't mind and I was allowed in for some hours a day, the rest of the time I was outside, sitting / sleeping on the concrete floor until another of the womens mother or someone would call me for something. The 2nd was at Grenados in Salinas, this is a private clinic, we were going to use the same public hospital as before, but the theatre was closed so we could not. The total cost was about $700, 3 nights, private room. Very professional. Similar to UK standards (our first child was born in the uk before we came here) Differences Cambodia to Ecuador. Hard to say exactly, but during my time in Asia I always found the cultural differences very different meaning I never really made "friends" with the locals, there was always some kind of disconnect, some kind of not understanding each other. Whereas Ecuador as a Christian country (for the last 1/2 millenia anyway) there is that shared background - even more so if you are in a town / city where the people are more mixed / Spanish descent
