It's good that you're able to address these questions, but really - some of it is just really none of anyone's business!
I hate when people think of adoption as a second-best option or just a back up plan to conceiving biological children. God calls people to parenthood in different ways. One of the things that saddens me about all the embryos we still have is that it will probably mean we won't be able to adopt.
I agree with you 110% on adopting internationally. Kids here may not have the most ideal upbringing if they are raised in foster care or something similar. But they will have healthcare and education. They won't starve to death, die of disease, or be forced into prostitution or slavery.
