Has anyone used one of the many referral/networking agency out there? I read about them and they indicate that they work with attorneys, adotption agencys and facilitators in matching birth parents with adoptive parents, etc. I have noticed that several adoption agencys advertize them. I would appreciate your knowledge if anyone has anything. thank you.

We are currently working with Adoption Network in CA. We have really enjoyed our relationship with them. They do all of the networking and can even house the birthmom's if they need it. The fees are a little higher (not a sliding scale), but to us it's worth it to have everything taken care of. They are also a law center, so their lawyers should be able to help us with most of the legal issues although we may need to get a lawyer in our state depending on where we adopt from. This has just been our experience. I know a couple different couples who have had great success with Lifetime Facilitaor's. These are the two I have info on, hope you get more responses and best of luck to you.
