Re: Website to Connect to Expectant Parents

    It will depend on what state you live in the EM lives in and the laws of the state.  There are four states that require agencies.  MA, CT are two but not sure what the other two are.  If an EM is from one of those states you will need an agency.  Some states require an agency if you are going to pay any EM expenses.  TX is one of those states, so I don't know the laws of every state but each one is different.  I would recommend that if you do connect with an EM on a site like ParentProfiles that you talk to a lawyer first and then decide which is the best route to take, agency, lawyer or both in some circumstances.  Good Luck.

    Maryoosa, I know couples in NY that have done private adoptions without agencies, but they adopted out of state.

    Ny you just need an attorney not an agency...you cannot use parentprofiles in ny....we used adoptimist.com...you can find us on their connections:) Matt and Tracy....very affordable too :)
    After three miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy we are currently pursuing adoption. " Born not from our flesh, but born in our heart. You were longed for and wanted and loved from the start."

    Sorry my mistake then. I adopted in NY and everything I read indicated that we had to use an agency.
