While we love this child with all of our hearts, we know we can't provide for her at this time and are interested in finding a home where they will love and cherish her as much as we do.
Will we have a hard time finding a family who is interested in adopting from us? We're both educated and come from strong families.
We have been reading about open adoption and we're interested in learning more about that as well, however, we've only got about six weeks left of our pregnancy and we wonder if we've waited to long.
I've considered picking up the Yellow Pages and calling an agency, but I wondered if that was the best option. Is it better to work with an agency that has a stronger web footprint? Do you have to work with an agency at all?
Any advice you can offer regarding your experience would be helpful. I've done quite a bit of research and I understand the gravity of my decision, however I feel this is the best decision for the three of us at this time.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I would like to just answer the questions you have asked. NO, there is no such thing as waiting to long, there are thousands of amazing families out there that have been waiting for a baby.
As far as an agency, it just depends on what you need from your situation.
My experiences just come from being an adult adoptee, as well as hopeful adopter, so I might not have as much insight to some things, but I do admire you for doing what you think is best.
