At first we went with an agency. We also wanted an infant. After 2 years of waiting and 2 failed adoptions we switched to fost/adopt with our county. At this point we now wanted a young sibling set. And also knew several people who had adopted little ones (under 6 months) from foster care. Our experience with both was totally great. I would do fost/adopt again. You can get infants, you just might wait a little longer and I think it is more "risky" than an agency since you usually have to wait a while for TPR.
