choosing an agency
I'm mom to 2 beautiful girls that we adopted thru a nj agency. Just a word of btdt advice, be sure to research birth parent surrender laws/tpr laws in the states you are considering. For example, in NJ, a birthmom may terminate/surrender parental rights 72 hrs after birth if using an agency, and this surrender is irrevocable. In Pa, the wait I believe is 6 months before it is irrevocable. Both of our girls were in our arms at 72 hours old, albeit 7 years apart! We were in court finalizing at about the 6 month mark, not awaiting permanent tpr. Most , if not all agencies, have 24 hour support/services available. Best of luck!
