For us, honestly, it became a matter of $$. In our area, domestic adoption are quite regulated so the fees are known. I know there are lots who will pay as much for a domestic placement as for an international placement, but it wasn't the same in our decision. Not only that, but because of the cultural diversity in our province, we knew we might experience parenting cross-culturally even if we adopted domestically. That was fine with us and we thought it would be better use of our limited resources. Sad that money is an issue but in adoption, it can be.

Another big issue for us is we were really interested in knowing our child/ren's first families. There was less of a chance of knowing them if we adopted internationally.

There are risks either way...

As for further fertility treatment... we will not pursue more treatments. We made that decision before moving to adoption to build our family. Best of everything on your journey to your family!
