Hi,

We did not use a facilitator/networking service/referral service because it's not legal to do so in our home state. If you haven't yet, please check with your attorney to be sure it's OK where you are too.

Some states don't allow the use of a facilitator regardless of where the child is born (if different from home state), some do allow if it's legal in child's birth state.

If it helps, we did not have any problems connecting without the use of a facilitator. Through personal networking we were connected within 4 months of starting our search. Ryan was born 7 months later.
