I realize that proof of pregnancy is required in all cases. The difference is that in an agency adoption the agency gets it, counsels the expecting mother, then contacts potential adoptive parents. In independent adoption, we talk to expecting mothers considering adoption, get her to send the proof of pregnancy to the lawyer, then get the counseling. So far, we've had one fake proof of pregnancy faxed from a real estate office where the doctor's office was nonexistent. We also had one proof of pregnancy that never arrived after 2 1/2 months. It was always lost in the mail/FedEx/fax. The tracking numbers given did not exist. The doctor did not exist, although the clinic did. In both cases, the expecting mothers were not pregnant, at least not under the names we were given.
We figure this is actually a ploy by our second child to make sure that we are prepared for him/her when he/she is ready to be born. It is a delay tactic because the right child for our family is not ready to be here yet. It's just painful to open yourself up to someone for weeks only to find out they are playing with your emotions.
