[quote=Anonymous]We adopted domestically and though we live in MD, we adopted out west. I wanted a buffer zone between us and the bio parents, plus many states out west have very short waiting and revocation periods. Kansas, Utah, Texas, there are others that aren't coming to mind. Our birthmom signed papers 12 hours after birth and could not change her mind. It was done. We spent 10 days out there and came home.

I know very little about international but know that it can take quite a long time, is considerably more expensive, you often have to take multiple trips there before even coming home with a child and are at the absolute mercy of more than one government. Obviously, you have to make the best decision for you and your spouse.

We also did IVF for years and it never worked, and I know how hard it is and how you can feel it is never going to work. I didn't think I could stomach all the hurdles with international. Domestic was almost more than I could take. If you stick with it, one day, it will work out. Good luck to you.
