Not in international adoption, which is what we're considering. I really don't want the risks that seem to be prevalent with domestic adoption -- birthmothers changing their mind, or it taking a long time for a birthmother to choose us. It's too risky, to me. International seems like a lot of red tape but at least it's a fairly defined process with a fairly defined timeline from what I can see.
