I seriously considered adoption as well, but being that I am single I ruled it out.. To much trauma for a child to lose their mother and not have a father to help them. I have a lot of friends that did adopt overseas.
I would cross China off your list totally, they have the strictest rules and regulations. You have to have a certified letter of health stating that you are in excellent health, you can't even be obese or they can turn you down.. Even people under the best of circumstances are waiting years and years and years for a baby from there.
Some people do well with in States adoption is they are willing to take a non-infant, also you can sometimes get siblings that way....it is cheaper, etc.
Any country that has white looking children are hard to get as well, such as European countries.
Other than that I would search out adoption agencies, see what the time frame is for placement, some have short times etc.. Agape is a wonderful agency..
Here is the thing about the health....Most countries want a letter of certified health from a MD. I seriously considered for a half of second going to a walk in doctors place and just getting a physical to see if I could get a letter, but again decided against it.
The people I know that have been able to adopt with health issues have either lied about their health all together or found a country that didn't ask about the health.
Good luck to you...Somewhere their is a baby born or going to be born that will belong to you
