Ruth,
While I do wish you luck, I did notice some things you are saying are wrong. A birthmother is not ever giving you their child, she is trusting and placing her child with you. Do lots of research and go to places like
http://www.parentprofiles.com/ and read other adoptive parents Profiles just to get an idea of what to say and not say.
I am not only a Birthmother, but a soon to be an adoptive Mom and wife of an adoptee. Please feel free to E Mail me if you have any questions or just need an E Pal.

"Hi, I have been trying to meet birthmothers online now for months. How do you do that? I feel like I am being cold and unfeeling asking a birthmother to give me her child. Is this a normal feeling. I mean we want an infant terribly and I refuse to pay agency fees, they just seem to money hungry for me, and how do you know the mother gets anything? If you can give me any hints on how to be tactful I would appreciate it.
