Still trying to decide on a country...

... And I think I'm going CRAZY!!! I am torn between adopting from China and Guatemala, and every time I think I have it figured out, I hear/read something else that makes me re-think my decision!

Anyway, how did you all decide to adopt from China vs. other countries? Have any of you adopted from Guatemala and China? How do the two processes differ? How long does the entire China adoption journey take at the moment? What are the agencies with the best reputations for China adoption?

I have 3 bio sons and want to adopt a daughter. I am concerned primarily about the health of the child we adopt. Originally, I was considering Russia and E.E., but have since ruled them out based on risks of FASD and RAD. I know that RAD is a risk when adopting from China, too, so any feedback from those of you who've adopted or are in the process of adopting would be helpful. Also, do you know whether there's a good YAHOO/LISTSERV group for those considering adopting from China? I haven't found anything in my internet travels yet.

Thanks in advance,
Sarah
