Adopting domestically can be done through an adoption agency, an adoption attorney or through the foster care system. Each method involves different issues. Your baby might come from Texas, California, Ohio, Florida, Indiana, Michigan or one of the other states in the US... If you want to pursue a domestic adoption, you will want to consider your method choices, your comfort level in communicating with birth parents and what the issues might be between you and the birthmother during the selection process, the adoption planning process, at the hospital and after the adoption is final. What is open adoption and is it something that you could consider. How do you help children transition from foster care and make sense of their back stories?  What kind of adjustment and psychological issues might the children have?
