If you don't have any money (and we didn't) you can try through your local agencies. It takes a while, but if you make good contacts (as we did) you can get lucky. Usually the kids are "freed" for adoption by age 1. That means that reunification with parents has been tried etc. You can sometimes do "concurrent" planning through local agencies and have the baby from birth but it comes with some risk. We are near the end of the "journey" now but have had a bumpy ride getting our soon to be daughter. Good luck. Susannah
