I can't comment on the placement and finalization yet, however as I'm in the middle of my PRIDE classes, I am so loving the county so far. It was never a second thought for me to go through the county. Maybe it's because I work for a school district and I already know the frustrations of red tape and can handle county/public paperwork etc. Meeting people that are the ones that will most likely do your homestudy after the classes are also a plus since we've been introduced to two people of the adoption unit through the classes.

I guess it will be a personal choice...I also do think that my area is a good county area so it may not be this friendly and helpful in other counties or areas.
