Your choice of agency is *crucial.* I can't emphasize that enough. We did some research but not as much as we probably should have done. Fortunately we got lucky with a greate agency.
Before this process started I would have not wanted to go with an agency outside of my local area (large Metro area.) While there are definite bonuses to being local, they are small compared to other more important considerations.
The most important criteria IMO is how connected your agency is. Many agencies are dead in the water right now because of the Russian regulations. Our agency is cranking out referrals. In fact, we have several people in our agency now that switched from another agency after waiting 1 year with no referrals.
Good luck. Enjoy this forum. Its a great resource.
