The program is very small compared to the PRC, but it does exist, is stable and, as far as I understand it, quite reputable. k2 I don’t know your personal history, and I am just assuming that you believe that you would be disqualified under some part of China’s (the PRC’s) criteria, but do you know if you might qualify for adoption from Taiwan?

Would you consider adopting a child from say another country in Asia that would give you a good chance of the kids appearing to be of the same ethnic/racial background....maybe Kazahkstan? DH and I still think the day may come that we adopt from Ethiopia. We'll make our family work. It'll meam more work because we'll have another whole culture to learn....but we'll probably do it. And, I hear you on how aparents are assessed. They try their best but the judgments do end up being kind of arbitrary. DH and I have our problems....and sometimes those problems worsen. Doesn't mean our home is a bad one for Anna. Just means we are normal people. I think they should look at the fact that you guys weathered the storm and are still together.

But having two kids from different backgrounds is not the worst that could happen. The worst is if y'all didn't work it out and you end up like my family.

If that's the case it hardly seems fair to deprive your daughter of a sibling of the same heritage.
