I would like to say that you can do private adoption in some countries, contrary to what you may be told. The only concern is, that you have to reside in that country at the time of adoption. I live in South Korea right now and did a private adoption to get my son, and know several people from the local army base whom have done the same thing. They allow you to do private adoption, if you live here. I have heard the same about Japan and Taiwan. So, if you are willing and able to do it, travel for a while. The down side is, that with many private adoptions you must live outside of America with your new child for 2 years to get a visa by American law. You can't allways beleive what the agencies and the websites tell you, I had to do a lot of research to find out for myself. Goodluck!
