We did all the research you can imagine on agencies, countries, fees, timelines, and more. But when it came down to it, we decided on an international adoption for one main (and very profound) reason: we didn’t want any baby mama drama.

That’s right. Judge me if you like. The main reason we chose to adopt internationally was because we felt that adopting domestically might open the door for a baby’s mom to come “back” into our child’s life and mess up the good thing we had goin’ on.  Baby mama drama, as Wes called it. No, thank you. 
I know.  Totally lame and shallow reason.  That’s why I’m writing this blog about it, 7 years later.
