This is a long article that appeared in the Washington Post's Sunday magazine but it is well worth the read for anyone considering domestic adoption. If you have time, click on the discussion link in the last paragraph at the end of the article (I think the link is called "Monday Noon" or something). So many adoptive parents (domestic as well as international) birth parents and adoptees wrote in. This discussion was very good, represented many points of view and really made the point that in adoption, one shoe definitely doesn't fit all.
