[quote=Anonymous]Not what you asked, by my parents adopted because my mom couldn't get pregnant. They applied through an adoption agency after going through....I don't know what process....and then got pregnant (I know that this is not typical). They were concerned about miscarrying initially and had a few close calls, and still wanted to adopt because they wanted more than one kid so never rescinded their application to adopt. They ended up adopting my 3mo brother when mom was 6 months pregnant, and so my older brother is 6mo older than I am. We also have a brother 2.5 years younger than me.

All of us are adults now, and have what I think are pretty typical sibling relationships. I love my brothers, can't imagine not having them, and they are very close to my parents.

My brothers were adopted internationally, because of adoption laws in our home state at the time (I'm in my mid-30s, this was a LONG time ago and those laws have changed). I suggest looking into all of your options before making a decision. Gathering information, looking into domestic/private/foster-adopt/international doesn't commit you to anything, it just informs your eventual decision.
