Marcy,
My Dh and I have struggled with the same issue. I think that there are pros/cons with both international and domestic adoption. Personally, I was leaning International (Guatemala or Colombia) and my Dh really wanted to try domestic. It is very important to him to parent a child from birth and he is willing to take on a little bit more risk to do so. So, we are giving domestic a try-and don't doubt that I am SCARED TO DEATH.
We are not concerned at all about adopting a "white" child, in fact we have requested a bi-racial or hispanic child. We are a CC couple and picture a blended family as ideal for us. Yes, we have been told that is not normal, but who cares? You have to do what is RIGHT for your family at this time. People are generally more supportive when they understand how truly important adopting is to you. I wish you the best!!!
