[quote=Anonymous]We decided not to use a local agency (except for the Home Study of course) for a couple of reasons, partly that the local agencies didn't seem to have high rates of placement. Also the ones we looked at required quite a lot of the $ upfront which meant we would be committed to just one agency if we decided down the track we didn't like them. In addition we were looking for agencies where we weren't carrying a lot of the risk of losing birthmother and other expenses if there was a change of mind (the attorneys we looked at also seemed to have the client carry all of the financial risk). Instead we signed up with a few agencies (primarily) in the South that had low upfront costs (i.e. less the $500) and also signed up for some referral services. Ultimately, we adopted twice from an agency that did not require payment until placement and we had a wonderful experience - such agencies are out there. [/quote]
