BabyBound--I just wanted to say that we are also of Spanish descent (well, I'm Spanish and dh is Portuguese but close enough) and the assumption would be that we would adopt from Latin America. Even our own social worker tried to push us to adopt from Guatemala or Mexico. For various reasons China is the best choice for us.
Both of our families expressed reservations when we brought up the idea of adopting. My mom was concerned about us having a 3rd since we already have 2 toddlers. My dh's family said "how can you love an adopted child the same way as a bio child"? Now it seems like they've accepted our decision and dh's father is even going to China. I think it takes time for people to come around and also become educated on international adoption.
