We did not chose a Christian agency, because none of the ones that were near that we checked on would accept us as adoptive parents because they said we were too "old." I am now 40 and my DH is 47 (I was 38 and DH was 45 when we originally started looking for an agency.) They all have an artibrary age cut off without considering any other factors that go into making a parent.

But, because we used an out of state agency, we still had to have an in-state homestudy, and we did use a Catholic agency for that. They were willing to do our homestudy ... go figure!
