Where to go from here

I'm spending my summer learning and adjusting to my move.  I have also spent time learning more about adoption.  Frankly, I'm not sure where to go from here - do I try to adopt internationally or do foster care.

Adopting internationally will be difficult as a single woman and costly.  Foster care would allow me to avoid the issues with international adoption (language, time, money, unknown issues from orphanage).  This is not to say foster care/adoption would be without issues.  Initially, the child is to be reunited with the parent and eventually if the parent does not follow the court's orders, the parent's rights will be terminated and the child placed for adoption.

My other issue is whether parenting is something I should be pursuing at all.  Do I have enough time to parent a child? What will I do during those times I have intensive learning at Bethel?  What would I do with the child while at work?  Am I emotionally ready to handle this alone?
