I think what everyone else said is true about going with your gut. We just completed our second adoption and went with the same agency for the second adoption as well. When we first started the process, I spoke with about 10 different agencies. The one we went with the ultimately felt right. The person was friendly and responsive to our question. They were local, although that was not a huge factor for us. Also they were accrediated and not umbrelled under another agency. Any good agency will give you names and numbers of their clients. As you narrow down you list I would ask to talk to some that have receintly completed their adoptions. Feel free to PM me if you are interested in the name of my agency. I would recommend them to anyone.
