Hi Polly,
My name is Cortney and I would like to welcome you to the threads. I am sorry some of the replys made you uncomfortable but I know that many here are very familiar with the process and are only speaking from their own experiences. They are all very caring and mean well.
As for me, My husband and I have only began to seek out the adoption journey after a long battle with fertility treatments that have still left us childless. I do not have much experience with the adoption process but I do know, that it is not to late for you to find a very loving family for your beautiful baby girl. There are many couples out there ready with open arms to accept any child into their homes. As for working with an agency, there is nothing out there that says you must work with an agency. You are more then welcome to pursue a private adoption if there is a family you already have in mind. My Husband and I just were going to adopt a baby girl due in June. She was my best friends little sister. The Birth Mom just recently decided she would like to parent her baby girl, and we couldnt be happier for her. There are so many choices out there when it comes to adoption. I encourage you to take your time and talk to whom ever you may need to so you feel comfortable with whom ever you decided to place your daughter with. If you ever need to talk please feel free to PM me. Like I said i am far from being experienced with adoption but I can always be a good friend and a listening ear. Know that i am praying for you, your husband and your baby girl and also praying for your adoption situation. Sending hugs your way,
Cortney
