[quote=Anonymous]When I adopted internationally, I was advised to consider why the kids were available. If it was due to social custom or norms (such as kids being born out of wedlock—very stigmatized in Korea, or China’s former “one child policy”), the babies tended to be in better shape. If they were taken from the home due to abuse, addiction or neglect (such as in Eastern Europe or the US), the odds of long term problems, genetic issues or FAS are greatly increased. I also would avoid “ private adoption” (i.e., Brokered by an attorney) since I think they are more likely to be shady/exploitive of poor women. My adoption journey has turned out spectacularly. I feel blessed, and my 20 year old daughter is a happy, healthy college student. Good luck to you![/quote]
