I am a firstmom, whom placed,1986. I am so humbled and happy to not only hear such compassion, and kindness, from parents wishing to adopt, but also from the new father to be. It means so much to Firstmoms& expecting moms, whom have placed or are lookinhg into placing. You and your darling wife, are extraordinary, I hope you get all that you seek. I had a horrible experience with the agency that I placed with. I am not going to burden you with the long horrific details, for that is not why you have come. I think it is absolutely a great idea to offer an outside source of counseling to any young mother looking into this option. You, the client calls the shots, you after all are the one paying the bills. I had NO counseling, and believe to this day the agency fed the parents of my twin sons, a completely different story, than the one I recieved. I do not know, but I have to believe this, it will keep me sane to do so. I have no experience on adopting a child and am sad I cannot help more. I just needed to tell you how touched I was as a firstmom, to see and know there are wonderful people, whom desire nothing more than to raise a child...AND to do so with compassion and morals towards the feelings of the child and their firstparents, but do not desire it more than the welfare of that childs mother! Good Luck, I sincerely hope you get all you desire...again Thank You!
