Agency Recommendations

Hi everyone!

I am totally lost when it comes to looking at agencies. Can anyone tell me what to look for in a good agency and if anyone has any recommendations, could they PM me with that information?

I'm also going to be adopting as a single mom & I have heard some people say that some agencies work with singles more than others. Is that true?

I know a lot of people are using agencies that are not in their state. Did you do most of your talking on the phone? Also, if that is the case, I'm assuming you would use a different agency for your homestudy, right?

I'm sorry for all of the questions. I'm brand new at this & just trying to sort out where to start from!

Thanks everyone!

Angie
