I wish you ladies the best in your future family processes!!! I wanted to add that if you go through a private adoption agency, your costs will be higher and your wait probably longer. If you go through the state, your costs will be cheaper but the age of your child(ren) will be slightly older. If you are willing to adopt a "special needs" child, your costs will dramatically be cut and you may even qualify for state funded assistance for Dr. vists and such. Before anoyone says they do not want to adopt a "special needs" child, look at each and every states definition of special needs. In Oregon, a child that is considered special needs is one who not only has a physical or mental disability but also if they are a single child (no matter the race) of 6 years or older and if you have a sbiling group, at least one of them must be 5 years or older. Check out the logistics of a states definition as there are lots of "loop holes" in the adoption process, no matter how you approach it. And don't forget to account for the (in the USA) adoption tax break you get. I believe it is now like $10,000. I would have to double check but it's a nice chunk of money. Good luck to you all!!
