Thanks for the replies. You both were helpful.

That's exciting that you were picked while still getting everything processed! I'll add that to my list of questions I have for the agencies. That's a good idea and with how expensive everything is saving every little bit counts!

I know what you mean about learning something new every day. We've been saving for quite some time now and reading into different options and I'm constantly learning something new - which is why I am so confused! I can't wait to see where all of our journeys take us.
I obviously haven't started the birthparent letter yet, but I have gotten some ideas from the birthparent forum. There was a good thread going that talks about the bp letter. They were discussing what they would write if they were to write one. It was an interesting thread. It was really helpful to see things from their perspective. Sorry I don't have any specific advice for you, but I hope that helps in some way.
