[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I’m quite familiar with the identity issues- one of my best friends is an adult Korean adoptee so we’ve discussed it extensively. I’ve also been reading up on the pros and cons of open adoption and realize I would need to become ok with it if we choose domestic adoption, since closed adoptions are very rare now and seem to be considered generally worse for the child.

Do our personal characteristics as a family help or hurt our chances of being matched, or is it random how long we’d wait or if we’d ever even be chosen? We’re both 30, married, healthy (other than the mild past anxiety), are no longer in DC (Texas now), college educated, income around 200k, and I’m a SAHM. [/quote]

OP, you are not familiar with identify issues.  You are using the all time "one of my friends is an adoptee so I already know.....".  Please check and educate yourself. Talk to more adult adoptees, reallly understand what it means to adopt transracially.  I recommend visiting PACT www.pactadopt.org.  [/quote]

Most happy adoptees are not online or in these groups.  You get a very bias opinion doing it this way.[/quote]
