The website I give at the end of my post is the agency my husband and I went through to find our daughter and the agency I now work for part-time! Unfortunately, they only work with couples/families in the Northern California area. What type of agency are you working with now? Do they only do birthmother (independent) adoptions? Our agency works more with fost/adopt situations, but does have experience with independent adoptions.
Can you pick up the remainder of classes you need to finish up for the state of Maryland? Maybe a social worker will work with you individually if they know you have completed some of the training. How many children do you have? From what I know, social workers like it when there are children already in the home...experience is good.
Keep us posted. It would be good to hear from you!
Sincerely,
