Did you guys use an agency or did you do it on your own? If you did it on your own, can you please let me know how easy you thought it was? My husband and I haven't gone through the adoption process before. So, we are a little scared to not have help from an agency. Thanks so much for your time!

My husband and I are very interested in adopting from Japan, but my husband would like to chat with you if at all possible. Please e-mail me back and let me know if you would prefer to call us or converse via e-mail.

It has been difficult to find information about Japanese adoption options. We would really like you to send us the phone number, or email address, for the contact person in California. I believe you said she was with the Rescue the Children agency. After haveing 3 miscarriages and 3 IVF cycles, we are hopeful that your blog will help us reach our dreams. Hello,

My husband & I are very interested in adopting a little girl from Japan. We have a rascal 13 month old son who desperately needs a sibling. I was born & raised in Hilo (yonsei), my husband a nisei from Los Angeles. We currently live on Oahu. Would love to hear more about the agency you used and get the contact information if possible. A belated congratulations to your family! Hi! My husband & I are very interested in adopting a little girl from Japan. We have a rascal 13 month old son who desperately needs a sibling.

I am so happy to have found your post! My husband and I are in the initial phases of an adoption from China, but with wait times threatening to reach 3-4 years, we are worrying about continuing. Also, my sister lives in Japan, married to a Japanese man, with three kids, so we go there twice a year to visit and LOVE it! We had never thought about Japan before, since we knew about the bias there (my bro-in-law still thinks we're wierd), and just figured they would never let foreigners adopt. From your experience, do you think they would allow a non-Japanese heritage couple adopt, considering our other close ties to Japan? And would you feel comfortable emailing me privately to give me a good idea of the costs? China runs about $18,000, but I have heard Japan could be more? Thanks again for your blog! Hello there!

We are now pursuing another adoption but, our agency in Japan isn't sure if they are going to continue (the representative is thinking to retire.) Could you please email me the names of the agencies that you mentioned? Thank you and congratulations! Stephenie mom to Lexie, 6 biological and Noah Ikuo, 2 adopted from Japan Hi,

I haven't had much luck finding good information. Could you help me out a little? I am single, my sister and niece live in Japan and I have visited several times and would love to adopt a daugher from there. Can you tell me the agency that you and your friend used? Also, in your experience, what is the range of costs that are associated with the adoption (less travel fees)? Thank you for any information that you can give me. I'm sure you are enjoying your daugher very much! My belated congratulations to your family! Christy Hi,

I am in the inital research process and would love to hear more about the agencies you contacted, the cost and a bit more on the process. My husband and I are both of Japanese heritage - his parents are both from Japan with family still there. I'm fourth generation Japanese American and lived there for 3 years. We wish to teach our children Japanese language & culture. I know you've got your hands full, but if you have the chance, we'd appreciate the information. Thank you Hello,
