I'm certain that this statistic will vary greatly by agency and/or private adoptions. Our agency doesn't even show profiles until the third trimester; so the risk is lower to the adoptive parents. I also think that a more experienced agency with experienced counselors will pick up on cues from the mother that she may be unsure of her adoption plan. I know that our agency never made any guarantees; and really prepared us for each possible outcome.

Sounds like we are using the same domestic agency as my wife and I were quoted the exact same statistics this week.
