tdrager, other than the level of disability that you're willing to work with, do you have some other restrictions on the kind of child that you are looking for? Age, sex, race? Your experience is quite disheartening.
My husband has been talking about how we should probably look into adopting an older child from overseas rather than domestically, in part because of the stories we hear about non-disclosure of information on domestic adoptees that leads to problems later. But my position has been that for most older children in overseas orphanages, their past is still pretty much a black box. In the US at least there's some kind of paper trail on most of these children.
Nevertheless, we will probably talk to both kinds of agency and may pursue both avenues simultaneously.
