My husband and I have three biological children and are compelled to look into adoption to expand our family. We have been talking about this for the past two months and are getting frustrated. We have been talking to many people and can not decide which way to go. We like the thought about going through the state to help kids here and it would also be financially easier for us but when we talk to people about state kids they say they can really bring problems into your house becuase of all the baggage they carry. That is why we are also looking at Ethiopia where the children are suffering loss but don't have quite so many problems. There have got to be good kids out there in our state. We are thinking about adopting one or possibly two (siblings) in the 0-6 age range. We also wonder if going through the state is better than going through AAI which we have heard wonderful things about. Can you help us?
