I feel I have learned so much from you, and everyone on this board. Although we cannot make sure we don't encounter similar circumstances, at least we are going in with our eyes OPEN, and I have been keeping documentation of everything connected to our adoption organized in a three-ring binder, from the very first letter we received from our agency after visiting their table at an adoption conference. So far, I feel very lucky... We really like our agency (a small private agency specializing in special needs adoption -- they have no kids, but work with the foster care agencies to place), have had only positive experiences so far, and heard really good things about them. But "there but for the grace of G-d go I", and I appreciate your honesty and input.

Now, kick back and finally experience the joy of expecting your son!!!!
