ANW - sorry for the confusion - my DH and I did not go through an agency. We were in the process of adopting domestically when our sons' birthmom contacted us - the last sentence in her initial e-mail was "I'm in South Africa, is the geography a problem" - so, long story short, 2 months later I was on a plane to S.A.
She and her Dad met me at the airport and took me to the hospital - our sons were 6 days old (they moved her scheduled c-section up a week so I couldn't be there - homestudy update etc.) I took them home from the hospital and waited out the 60 days she had to change her mind there (my DH, MIL, and Mom took turns coming out to stay with me). Then waited another 2 months for the birthfather issues to be resolved.
So, I've met their birthmom, her family and their birthdad - kind of unusual for an international adoption - but it's been great so far. I e-mail with their B-mom and her family fairly regurlarly.
