I'm also a single mom. My son was placed with me at 16 days -- there really aren't that many milestones to miss in the first 16 days! I used a private agency in my area for the adoption.
I am now starting the process for a second child. I don't feel the same need to have a newborn and experience everything this time, so in addition to another agency adoption I'm looking into Ethiopia and a foster/adopt program. Today I'm leaning towards Ethiopia, but if you ask me next week I may feel differently.
