More than one agency?

Is anyone working with more than one agency at the same time? Thoughts?

We did, it wasn't our intention from the start but our local agency could not tell us what the wait would be to get into their pool of waiting families once we completed our home study.  We worked with two other national agencies and brought our child home through one of them :-)

We had to sign a contract that we wouldn't.  I say, if you are that uncomfortable with your agency you should just switch all together.

We worked with 6. It was actually recommended to us that we work with more than one so that we could broaden our search. Only upfront fees were initial application fees. The local agency did our homestudy and visits, then shared that information with the other agencies.

We started with one agency, and weren't happy, but felt kind of trapped because we'd already paid pretty hefty fees.  So we joined with another agency that only charged a placement fee.  And matched 5 days later.
