You know the other thing I was thinking - is talk to parents that had problems with agencies and find out how they were handled. It's great if everyone you talked to had no problems but sometimes things happen that are out of the agency's control - you want to know you can count on that agency to do everything possible for you. We are a good example of that actually - we actually started court but had to postpone it 3 times before we finished it due to the release letter not showing up. This was a problem out of our agency's and the judges hands. I didn't know if we were going to bring home my daughter - but I did know the agency was doing everything they could and called me 2x a day with updates. It was a scary time but at least I didn't have any doubts with my agency.

So I guess that's a really long winded way of saying - if references encountered problems that's not necessarily a bad sign depending on what they were and how the agency handled it.
