Thank you Sharon, I always love your posts! As a single lesbian, I 100% agree with you and therefore I'm adopting domestically instead. Although international adoption would be much quicker because I want a boy I realize that its not fair to jeopardize adoptions from Russia and Kazakhstan for my own selfish gains. In fact now Russia and the Philippines have a rule stating roommates of the same sex cannot adopt. I personally believe it would be selfish for ME to risk adoptions from those countries just so I can have a child. Who knows though, maybe attitudes will change within the next two decade. I remember long time ago, when international adoption was just taking off, it was very difficult for single women in their 40s to adopt. Twenty years later, thats no longer the case as most countries allow people up to age 50 (and sometimes higher) to adopt.
