Hi Shawn I came accross you messages and I must say you sound like quite a guy! My husband is also an Engish teacher here in Taiwan, while I homeschool our 3 sons. We are also trying to do an independent adoption while we are here as none of the agencies will work with us as we are South African, so our only other solution seems to be independent adoption. I just wanted to find out what you had decided, one of the posts I read you were trying to decide where else in the world to go to, and I was just wanting to ask if you have thought about Taiwan? and did you finally adopt your 2nd son? and perhaps a 3rd? I know that if we adopt from Taiwan we apparently will have to readopt when we are back in South Africa - is this the same for you? Anyway, just thought I'd drop you a line and say that I hope all is well with you and your boys! If you want to email me my address is
