Our biggest reason was an intense connection to the country we adopted from. We love South Africa and its culture and peoples...and knew we had the ability to help foster that love and respect in our children as well.
We also wanted as young a child as possible (some of the babies are as young as 2-3 months old) as we dealt with attachment issues in our middle guy and wanted to avoid it if possible.
We love to travel and saw our IA as a lifelong connection to another country and culture.
