The day after

It went well. But I think I came out with more questions than I went in with. We're going to look at other countries, maybe Korea, or maybe even domestic.
I found a local program, FACE (Families Adopting Children Everywhere) that offers a two-day workshop on the whole process. I like that it's not affiliated with a specific agency though Catholic Charities highly recommends their course. That runs for two Saturdays, May 13 and 20.
One concern I hadn't considered is other people's reactions to our blond-haired, blue-eyed biological child and our other child who will look nothing like us. I'd like to think there wouldn't be issues, but it's still something to consider.
Personally, I would have no problem at all loving a child of another race or ethnicity, but we live in a highly "homogenous" area where just about the only non-white people you see are adopted Chinese girls.
