Hi Kirsty,
We did the opposite of you and still had a super bumpy road with our second and third adoptions. When our first was 3 we signed back on with the agency. We had SOooooo many almosts, but birth mothers would change their minds or birth family members would come forward and we had an awful time. Our agency suggested we post our profile on adoption.com to further our chances or finding a child. After 10 months of fielding some promising inquiries (and some very weird ones, too) we decided to go international. We found our Russian son through a different agency and cancelled our profile on adoption.com. After returning from our first trip to Russia we got an e-mail from a teenage couple in Kentucky that they had printed our profile off of adoption.com months earlier and wanted to talk to us about adopting their soon to be born baby girl. And that's how we ended up with three. You wouldn't believe some of the stories in between these three, though. What a crazy process....definitely not for the faint of heart.
Would love to talk to you more.
