Adoption or Foster - Adopt

My husband and I have two wonderful bio girls ages 4 and 6. We would like to adopt a boy younger than 4 and are trying to figure out the best way to go about it. We are beginning the process with the county and need to decide if we would be open to foster first. I feel like this would be a great option as it would be a great trial period to make sure that it is the right thing for our family.

International Adoption Spanish/Latino Heritage

For various reasons, medical and personal, my husband and I have made the decision to go the adoption route instead of trying to have biological children. My husband comes from Hispanic heritage (Honduras) and, initially, we were hoping to pursue international adoption with a country with a Latino/Hispanic heritage. From what my research has told me, Honduras rarely adopts internationally and Guatemala has stopped adoptions altogether. Honestly, I feel I've heard/read so many different things that it's a bit overwhelming. Does anyone...

International Adoption vs Domestic Adoption

Alot of people have their own opinion on adoption and whether its right or wrong to adopt from another country. My husband is in the military and it always saddens him to see poverty at its worst and children who truly have absolutely nothing. We have made the decision to adopt internationally and have chose to adopt from one of the poorest countries in the world to try and give a child a better life and a chance to live, healthy. No matter what anyone says we are not changing our minds but I wonder where does everyone stand on this issue...
