You give your agency parameters about what you want or don't want (e.g. degree of open contact, major medical, race, etc.) It's important to be honest about what you think you and your family can deal with. Then, once that's finished, you'll put together a photo album with pictures of your home and your family, with a letter to the expectant mother. Expectant parents look through all the books the agency has, and express interest in whatever families strike them as being the type of adoptive parents they're looking for. Then, usually your agency will contact you to let you know if a birthmother has expressed interest in your family and will tell you a little about the birthmother and her circumstances. If it's not something you're comfortable with, you say no and wait for the next match.
