We were so burned out by all of the infertility treatments and I knew that I could not take another let down. We knew that the country we chose was stable, and had friends who also adopted from there. Ironically enough Russia shut down weeks before we left and we switched to Kaz (the agency also went there). Back then switches were quick and we left a month later to adopt our son.
Now I realize that my views of domestic adoption were skewed, but the uncertainty of "when will be chosen" was too much for my brain at that point in time. For our second adoption we went back to Kaz as we wanted our son to have that connection with his sibling.
