Ummm....now what?

We have exchanged emails with a women who claims to be pregnant and due in Oct. She is not from our state. She has gone so far as to say that if she decides to place, it will be with us. We've only exchanged a few emails, she's not working with an agency yet, and, honestly, I don't think it's going to happen (we really think that she'll parent). BUT, on the slim chance that it could - what do I do now? Our emails have been mainly informative, answering questions about adoption, our family. We've never talked or seen each other. She mentioned wanting to speak with our agency, but they don't work in her state. I have stressed several times that she needs to get some counseling to decide what is right for her, etc. We have do idea how this would even work being in a different state. Also, we haven't asked anything in regards to social/health history as it is uncomfortable for us to do (but necessary at some point). We've emailed our SW, but, obviously, won't hear anything until tomorrow. Any advice?
