If you are going the private route (or, really, any route), PLEASE make sure that you are receiving your OWN legal counsel. Realize that an attorney that is representing the adoptive family and/or paid for by the adoptive family does NOT have YOUR best interest in mind or even the best interest of the child... they are going to want to please the paying client.
That said, I encourage you to look around the blogosphere at the MANY birth parent blogs. You will find a wide and varying group of voices, all with vastly different stories to tell. Some are happy. Some are not. All are beneficial for you to read at this stage in the game.
