Even though your agency isn't licensed in her state, she can and should still speak with them. They will help you by asking the 'hard' questions - proof of pregnancy, status of biological father, medical/social/substance history, etc.
They can and should also be able to provide her with counseling, and may be able to arrange for a counselor near her to meet with. We and our agency were in VA, Ryan's bfamily was in TX. They called the agency's toll-free number to talk, we arranged for a nearby counselor to be available and for an attorney experienced in adoption to represent only them (as well as one in TX for us).
Lastly, your agency may have relationships with a licensed agency in this expectant mom's state that they can coordinate services with. It's not unusual.
