Hey there! I'm in Canada so I don't have any advice on agency selection.
Some questions you might consider...
- If you are wanting to adopt a hispanic child, you may wish to ask the percentage of hispanic children placed within that agency.
- If you have a budget (how could you not?), get a very black and white outline of the fee's and fee schedule. How much is upfront? What is that agencies view on birthmother expenses? How much do you have to put up when matched? Do you get that money back if a match falls through?
- Inquire as to the councelling provided to expecting parents and birthparents (pre and post placement)
-I would also want to know their stats on revocations per year, failed matches as well as placemnts per year.
I'm sure there is a ton more, but that comes to mind
