We chose Kyrgyzstan because we knew we wanted a former Soviet block country (just a heart for those orphans.) And the wait in China and financial requirements put it out of reach for us.
We also want a boy, and China didn't seem like an option at the time. We also wanted an Asian child and Kyrg has mostly Asian people.
We chose Kyrg because of the short process. We'll likely have a baby home in less than a year of our start. Also, the age of the babies. They are available for adoption at 3 months and most parents meet their baby when he/she is only weeks old on trip one.
It is an expensive program, but the two trips are relatively short with our agency and we have 3 other kids at home that we cannot leave for weeks at a time. We also have 1 special needs child and getting our baby at such a young age will help lessen the effects of life in an orphanage.
The more we have researched our country the more convinced we are that we are making the right choice. I know the same will be true for you.
