Getting more information and considering different points of view and options (even if you decide ultimately that some of them won't work for you) can only be helpful.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-70213980844734427302008-04-07T17:07:00.000-05:002008-04-07T17:07:00.000-05:00Be very very very careful!

Ask for references and CALL all of them (make sure they cover the very recent adoptive parents and a little further away). I came across this blog which happens to be about international adoption, but she gives some good tips about selecting your agency. http://adoption2007.wordpress.com/read-first-thinking-about-adoption-in-process-read-first/<BR/><BR/>And finally, take off the rose colored glasses. Adoption like anything else is a business that is harder to handle because emotions are involved.Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335137784267157167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-75002853906928671912008-04-07T11:43:00.000-05:002008-04-07T11:43:00.000-05:00There is certainly a lot to consider!

It made us feel a lot more confident that we were taking the right path.

We are currently in the IVF/PGD or natural debate although we're leaning toward at least trying IVF/PGD (even though we've "only" had one miscarriage, as so many are quick to point out). Sharing your experiences is very helpful to us and I appreciate it...thanks!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384263205928993714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26805135.post-60559024151780521222008-04-06T08:35:00.000-05:002008-04-06T08:35:00.000-05:00I am glad it went well.
