We did a private adoption, and although it is much cheaper, sometimes I wish I would have used an agency. A lot of decisions were made 'for' me by my atty, and a lot of delays were caused by the atty not exactly knowing what she was doing. Our adoption is taking almost a year to finalize, when it could have been done in 6 months. ALso, I've had to do a lot of research on my own about different issues going on and during the stressful time of adopting, it would have been nice to know the agency was looking out for my best interests. (I guess you can have the same problem with an agency though!) Good luck!
