International adoption

An international adoption is just that, an adoption that is not done through your country of citizenship. This type of adoption is mostly completed through an agency that is licensed to facilitate adoptions through specific counties. International adoptions have their pros and there cons as well:

Pros:
1) These adoptions may happen faster then a domestic adoption.
2) You will be able to select the gender, race and age of the child that you are wanting to adopt.
3) There are many many children that are available for adoption and are ready to be united with a family.

Cons:
1) The cost of an International adoption can be very expensive, especially when you start including the cost of travel.
2) There may be little to no information about the child's background, health, and family history.
3) Each country is different and with that comes red tape and different systems to have to wade through to be able to bring your child home.
