Meeting w/ an agency tonight

I'm super nervous, but also very excited.  What should I expect?  Anything I need to make sure I ask?  This is my very first meeting.

    How exciting!!! 

    A few things I'd ask about:

    How many couples do they work with at a time?  Is there a waiting list?  What is their average wait time?  What is their policy when it comes to money?  (I always advise my clients not to pay any BIG chunks of money up front)  Ask what their policy is in the event of a birth mother changing her mind - you want to be sure you won't lose your entire budget here, either.  You may want to ask,too, how much contact they have with their birth mothers, if the birth mothers get any sort of counseling, etc.

    Those are just a few things off the top of my head:)  I hope things go perfectly tonight - let us know!! :)
