I advise all expectant parents researching adoption to secure their OWN legal counsel, not to rely on the adoptive parents hire.

Exactly! There is a "feeling" that working with an attorney gives them more control. Alas, in my experience it is only a feeling. Attorney's have very little in their code of ethics that address self determination for an expectant mom.
