Edgar also arrange for Leteane to receive needed medical attention. including several surgical procedures at Childrens Hospital to correct his crippled limbs. While Leteane experienced some relief. he will never be able to walk. Dr. Edgar has legally adopted Leteane Monatsi. although the process has not resolved any problems. Lesothos laws would not permit the adoption to go through until Leteane reached the age of 18. Unfortunately. however. U.S. immigration law does not recognize adoptions which take place after a child reaches age 16. As a result of this contradiction. Leteane Monatsi. now 22 years old. has no legal status in the United States.
