Our sons' birhmom found us online at parentprofiles as well. We had been on-line for 6 months when she contacted us the first time - just 2 months before the boys were born!
We talked to 3 or 4 other PBM's who I believe were sincere, but found other families who "fit" better. I also talked to a PBM that didn't seem like a good "fit" for us, and terminated our relationship (in a timely, polite way - she still had time to find a better fit for her and hopefully is very happy with her decision). I also talked to a couple of people who I belive were "messing" with me - neither asked for money, but I'm also not convinced that they were who they said they were.
Bottom line, if a PBM is not willing to talk to your agency, social worker, or attorney, something isn't right. That doesn't mean you shouldn't continue your relationship, just be aware that the probabilty that some sort of problem will crop up increases.
Good luck!!
