Technically speaking, expectant parents have the right to their own legal counsel. However, in my case, I was not informed of that right and therefore, absolutely no one was looking after my best interest, my legal rights to be fully informed of what open adoption entailed in our state of placement and other necessary bits of information.
Your idea is good; having separate agencies/attorneys. Until we see a vast change in ethics, which many of us are pushing for, I don't see it happening. It's "easier" the way that it is right now. Sigh, right?
