There are many factors to consider in deciding between international and domestic adoption. Some of these are:
- Travel. Once you decide to adopt internationally, you are required to personally pick up the child from his home country. Normally you are required to stay for a week. There are times when the length of stay for adoptive parents extends to as much as three weeks. On the other hand, adopting a child within your state will not require extensive travel.
- Expenses. Surveys show that international adoption is the most expensive type of adoption, since there are so many documents to prepare as well as fees to pay. On the other hand, opting for a domestic adoption is not as costly as international adoption. There are times that domestic adoption can even be free of charge.
- Adoption Training. For domestic adoption you must attend training and seminars before you can get custody of a child. International adoptions do not normally have this requirement.
