We, as well, looked into a few options. For us, we settled on Eastern Europe due to the race issue. I know that may seem harsh - but due to the area in which we live and our solemn belief that an adoptive child (as they grow older) should be able to "choose" wheter to discuss adoption or not (we didn't want it to be an everyday intrusion in their life)...the looking like us issue became very important. I certainly don't want to make that sound like we are racist people...I hope you can understand there was much more to it than that. We had a failed adoption in the Ukraine 3 years ago but yet we came back to Ukraine or Russia. Our agency helped us decide with information they had and the fact they had a referal that matched our criteria on the day we dropped off our application check!
