Default Thinking of adoption: international or domestic

I was wondering for those of you that have adopted children which way did you go international or domestic? Still in the thinking process and deciding what we want to do.

I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out

You're welcome. There are pros and cons to either one. Good luck on your adoption journey!

I have adopted twice from China. It's a wonderfully fulfilling roller coaster!

Best of luck in your research

Last night we went to Barnes & Nobles and got the complete book of adoption, and now our biggest fear is the amount of money hat it might cost us to do this. We are still going to find out more info, but we are thinking of possibly adopting a child from Russia, if funds allow.
Thank you everyone for your help.
