Most of the people that I know in our community/work have adopted internationally. My husband and I decided on local adoption. I believe they used Holt for their adoptions and in our community they have regular gathering (my husband and I have not been able to attend due to schedule conflict).

i was adopted from europe. it went pretty smoothly. i know my adoptive parents had a private loyer. it did cost money, but i guess it was worth it for them.
