Picking an agency is turning out to be pretty tough! We have to consider domestic vs. international, nationwide vs. local/regional, what type of adoption (open, semi-open, closed), race, age, sex, cost, post-placement services, etc etc etc.
And there are not many 'real life' people we can ask. We are doing lots of research online, but it is tough not to have opinions from those we trust. It seems to be as much about going with our gut as it is about the research.
We are trying to schedule introductory meetings with a few agencies in the Charlotte area, to see if we feel a sign that we've found THE ONE. But the clock is also ticking on our home study.
Ah, decisions. It's all about the end result! One day, this will be forgotten, much like I imagine the pain of labor fades away.
Please pray that we make the right decision for us and our future baby!
