Don't be nervous! You're starting a process that will lead to a wonderful outcome. I am the mother of one biological child and one adopted child, and believe me, it doesn't make any difference how they get to you, just as long as they do get to you! My son is from Guatemala and that is a fairly easy country to adopt from, certainly much easier than Russia or China. You will get a baby as young as 4 or 5 months old and you only have to travel once, for as little as 3 days to pick up your baby. It worked out very well for me, and my darling son is beautiful, bright, happy and very well-adjusted. Children from Guatemala tend to be very healthy; I know many kids besides my son who have just done fabulously well. If you might be interested in going that route, just search "Guatemala adoptions" on any of the major seach engines. I am in the process of my second adoption; I'm getting another little boy through the same agency as I received my first son.
