Hi Margie. We're in similar positions. I began my research about a month ago. Best thing I did was purchase a book called "Adoption in Colorado" at Tattered Cover for $8.00. It goes through the adoption process and what the Colorado laws are. The book also lists the state licensed agencies in the back of the book with brief synopsis of each agency's general guidelines like average time to placement, age requirements, fees, home study processing time, religious affiliations & so on.
Next step is to call the ones that appear to be in alignment with our religious preferences and budget to get more information. Then we'll be in a better position to choose our agency. I also picked up the "Idiots Guide to Adoption" which gives a checklist of what to look for in a good agency.
We're hopefully going to be ready to choose an agency and start the process after the 1st of the year. We have a million fears and just as many things to do.
All the best,
Loie
