Rising interest in domestic adoptions

The apparent increase in interest of U.S. parents to adopt domestically (USA Today article) comes as no surprise to us. We're living the challenge of an ever-increasing wait for a child, we've seen other families' anxiety when their country's (e.g., Guatemala, Vietnam) adoption program is in jeopardy of shutting down, and we hear about longer waits and stricter requirements in other countries' programs. Plus, for months I've been saying that #2 (I'm still working on DH) will be via the U.S. foster care system!
