Chicago ladies

So I kinda feel like adoption is one of those instances where referrals are the most valuable.  This is, by far, the most important thing I have ever done or will ever do.  I have been looking at agencies online, but I don't know where to start on choosing some to interview.  I mean, anyone can put anything on their website, right?  And I don't know anyone IRL that has adopted, so I have no personal experience to rely on.  So I thought I would ask you girls.

Does anyone have any referrals for agencies in the Chicagoland area?  I am going to be pursuing domestic infant adoption.  I would appreciate any information you can give me.  If you want to keep it more private, feel free to PM me.

Thanks in advance!

I tried to send you a PM, but it didn't work.  We adopted in WI 3 years ago and have now moved to the Chicago area.  I have done some preliminary research and here are the agencies we'll look into:

Lutheran Social Services (used in WI, and had a great experience)

St. Mary's

Adoption Center for Family Building

 I've heard good word of mouth about all 3 from several friends.  Lots of people go to The Cradle, too.

That's very helpful. Thanks!

I wouldn't adopt anywhere but the Cradle.  They're the best.
