I just spoke to Marta with Adoption Network and really, REALLY liked them. They are nationwide; is anybody using them? About how much are their fees (I do realize it will change from state to state)?
I am speaking with Suzie from there tomorrow night! I am not sure if we will go with them, we really really want to go with an agency in WI if at all possible.
Not sure what direction we are headed. Either way, I am up for the ride.
Do you ladies mean Adoption Network Law Center in CA?
Google "adoption network law center complaint" and ask about them on a few other forums. I know of attorneys in my state who will not work with them.
I, too, was impressed with them in our initial conversation. They advertise quick matches and can back it up with testimonials. But the fees quoted to me ran in the $30-50K range - compared to half that for reputable agencies in my own state. I think they are a legit agency, but the fees and quick match promises have raised questions with several folks I've spoken to.
Just my $0.02 - if they work for you, then go for it!
2 years TTC with 5 losses, 1 year recovering, 6 months applying for adoption approval, and almost a year waiting for a placement. Then, a miracle BFP at age 36!

I saw those the other day. While I most likely will not be going through them (I really want to stay with a WI agency like the one I was adopted from), I still want to hear what they have to say.
What I did not like was what I read about how they treated the mothers. To me, I want the mothers to be treated with respect.
