[quote=Anonymous]We have struggled with secondary infertility for over 3 years and have decided to pursue adoption. We would like to adopt a newborn domestically. We have found a home study agency, spoken with an adoption lawyer and spoken with several adoption agencies. I'm not sure if we should go with an adoption agency or do private adoption through an adoption lawyer. We would prefer to adopt a girl (since we already have one biological child, a boy). We are, however, very closed regarding birthmother substance use and would only consider smoking, no alcohol and no other drugs. What would be the best route for us to pursue: agency or private adoption? The adoption lawyer we spoke with said we would be looking at a 4-6 year wait. On the other hand, we spoke with a large adoption agency that said their average wait time is one year or less. Not sure what to do.[/quote]
