i live in the state of new york. we are thinking of adoption or sperm donor. but first i need all the info i can get on international adoption. i dont even know where to begin. a domestic adoption is where the child can at anytime go back with the birth mother correct? correct me if i am wrong i have no clue. do i search online? what are the fees? go through a lawyer an agency? thanks in advance.

When I started to look into International Adoption I went on to precious.org and found a photo listing, as well as several agency websites listed on the site that you can look at. Also, you may want to check out fertilethoughts.com or adoption.com for several references and message boards. Also the sticky at the top of this board is very helpful. GL!

umm i dont think that in domestic adoption the child can be placed back with bm after parental rights have been terminated. our situation was a little different, but i think the waiting time all depends on what state you live in. i hope someone who knows a little more (lisa/mama2destiny) could help you out a bit more. gl
