Adoption

Choosing an agency

Hi everyone!

 I am just curious how many agencies you contacted before choosing THE ONE, I think I found ours but I have a few yet that I haven't contacted but I'm not sure I want to bother. I found one that sounds absolutely perfect for us and set up a 1 on 1 meeting with them on Friday! I know its just a small step but I am so excited!

  • Congrats on the first step! 

     We met with 2 before we made our decision. We also looked at out of state agency's websites, but ultimately went with ours because it "felt right". 

    Good luck!

  • We visited 2 and liked them, but didn't absolutely love them.  After orientation at the 3rd, we knew we had found our agency and we cancelled the meeting we had scheduled with the 4th.
  • If it really feels right, then it probably is.  However, for us, when we met with the first agency, I thought for sure we'd work with them.  I was pretty naive though and after researching more, we realized the agency route wasn't for us and I'm
