Adoption

we are all in
DH and I have been going back and forth with trying to decide between IVF and adoption; we always knew we would adopt, but we had thought about doing IVF first. We had many long talks over the last week and we have decided we are all in, on the adoption route. we called the attorney, and she said to just continue "getting our name out there" and letting people know we are looking. any tips on how you guys with private adoptions are doing this?

Congrats on making a decision! I felt such a weight lifted off me when we decided to adopt!
We are working with an agency, but we are also networking on our own to increase our chances of finding a match. We have a personal adoption website and a Facebook adoption page. We have also sent out networking emails to everyone we know. Some people have had success with listing their profiles on websites like parentprofiles.com.
Thank you! we are excited, but just ready to figure out where to start!
I have seen the personalized web sites, but I am so NOT computer savvy; is it easy enough that a beginner could put one together? also, the only programs I have seen have been between $100 and $400 a month; have you found any that are more reasonably priced?

Congrats on making the decision. We made the same one! Now that we have our DS home, I can honestly say we don't know if we will ever try IVF. We had registered with an agency and ended up with a private adoption through word of mouth. Tell anyone and everyone you feel comfortable telling and have them spread the word too. Ours came in a way that I never would have expected! I hope your child finds you quickly!!
