If domestic adoption.....
I totally agree with Mandirenee - don't go with an agency that pays too much up front and ask if you lose your money if you have a failed placement.
Also, I would suggest learning about the TPR (Termination of Parental Rights) length for your state. Our state has a long TPR period and in our situation it has been much longer than normal. What I didn't realize is that we could adopt from any state - we just needed to work with an agency that does interstate adoptions.

Good luck!
