So my question is, what do you wish you had known when you started your domestic adoption?

Tell me about the hard parts, and the good parts.

Background:
We have been in the Ethiopian program for about 8 months, and are starting to think (for many reasons too long to get into) of switching to Domestic, specifically an AA infant.

I feel excited, but lost. We researched everything there was to know about international, and now we are into another unknown.


I talked to an agency that said she thought with our family specifics (middle class, SAHM, 2 bio kids)their agency would likely have a match for us within 2-6 months? Does this sound realistic, they said they don't have enough families for their AA emoms to pick from? Is that the norm? Their fees seem normal, not low, not high.

We are open to AA, HIV mother, maybe a little drugs, minimal alchohol, semi-open...

Help me BTDT people!
