Also, when you go for "options" counseling, after you choose OA, you should be getting educated as a first mom. If you're thinking a class... that would be pretty hard for first moms, it isn't like you can say well we offer this class to become a firstmom four times a year like you can with adopting. Firstmoms and dads should be getting educated, you just wouldn't see it the same way you would with people planning on adopting.

True...excellent point. Maybe not a class like the ole school girl class is what I mean. Something to help both parties really know what they want/expect before matching, before finalizing, etc. I know there is after placement counselling available of course, just wondered if things done beforehand could help.
