One year in Hawaii, we met a couple from NY who were just coming back from China with their adopted baby. They essentially said the adoption was not at all easy to accomplish. There was a tremendous amount of government red tape to get through, and lots of waiting, false starts, and times when they thought they'd never see the baby, or that there was no baby at all, and they were simply given the shaft. The ordeal sounded very difficult, but they did get a baby. I could see the results splashing around in the kiddie pool in Maui.

I have a feeling, however, that someone may ask you this on this thread, so I may as well be the goat:

Why not an American kid?
