I can't decide how to proceed!

I almost feel overwhelmed with the choices out there for adoption.

We are about halfway through our homestudy (agency pretty much only does homestudies, small number of placements) and we still haven't signed with a placing agency. I am very torn between going with an agency, or signing on with some referral services to have more exposure to potential matches. I know we can't talk specific agencies/professionals, but just tell me what direction you took and the pros and cons.

I also want to thank those of you that PM'ed me previously. I've gained some great information and leads about agencies and services I didn't even know about.
If anyone else wants to share their info, good or bad, with me, please PM me.
