They will keep giving you profiles until you find something that fits. Then they will facilitate the first meeting.
Just a suggestion if the thought of finding adoptive parents on your own seems intimidating.

Beware blindly trusting agencies. Many are known to act in highly unethical manners with expectant parents considering relinquishment. Furthermore, as this is a case of a married mother and father considering placement, many agencies simply don't know what to do with fathers who are involved. If you do seek out an agency, make sure that you are provided with your own legal representation and a third-party (not affiliated with the agency) counselor.
