Change from International to Domestic?
Has anyone changed from an International Adoption to a domestic one? We did because we were just soo unsure about the health of those children and we were afraid it would distrupt the great family that we already have. We have signed up with a new agency to adopt an infant girl. Not sure about the wait, but can't be and worse than the accepting and loss of a child from another country...and comments?
