I'm pretty nervous...

Meeting with the first agency I'm considering today in about an hour, and I'm pretty nervous. This is actually happening....

Oh good luck! And I second everything the PP says, couldn't have said it better myself!

Good luck! Just remember that in the end, you have to make whatever decision is right for you and your babies, and regardless of if you choose to make an adoption plan or parent the children yourself, you will have people who disagree with your choice. Don't let an outside make you question the choice that you know in your heart is right.

 

This.

Hope it all went well and you received answers to all your questions.

omg, thank you guys all so much for your support.

I didn't love the agency, and none of the couples in the packet really stuck out to me, so do you think it's too soon to call another one, or should I think about it more?

Call around!  It might take you awhile to choose and agency, but I wouldn't be seriously considering any specific family until you are 30 weeks pregnant.  (Really strong, birthmother loving agencies rarely match before 6-7 months).

Oh, and I messaged you a little bit of info!

Sorry you didn't like the agency you visited with today. I agree with PP, call other agencies. Google state "licensed" agencies for your area/state. You have to be comfortable with the agency that is going to help and guide you.

Wishing you all my very best!

If you don't feel comfortable with the agency, it's okay to move on to another one.  You are going to be working closely with them and with the counselors, so it's important for you to like them and feel comfortable working with them.  

 

Also, if none of the families seemed right to you, that's okay, too!  You have lots of time and there are a TON of hopeful adoptive families out there... someone will be a good fit!

I just wanted to reiterate what others are telling you. Our birthmom did not feel comfortable with the organization she was working with, left them and connected with our lawyer/agency. That's how we came to meet her and eventually adopt our son. It is perfectly fine for you to look for a place where you feel comfortable and your needs are being met. This is an important decision in your life and you should feel that the decision you make is the right one. So, if this place is not a good fit try another one.

Good luck in your journey.
