I believe your husband's instincts are right - I would run from the attorney. I would be very careful of anyone or any agency that represents one side exclusively. I placed 27 years ago and it was a wonderful thing for my son, and his parents, but unlike I was told, I did not "get over it and move on". Being in reunion has helped but it has been very difficult. It sounds like she hasn't really thought about the "big picture". There is a great quote from one of the forum posts - adoption is a "permanent solution to a temporary situation". It is so true. Right now placing may seem like the best or only choice but she has to make sure she will feel the same way in a year, 10 years, the rest of her life. To do so, she has to be well informed and make sure she is certain (although she may already have addressed any future emotions). I placed through Catholic Family Services but I'm not sure where you are located. Social services may be able to direct you to an agency. If it sounds to good to be true it usually is. All the best.
