A Word of Caution You are a vulnerable population so please take the time to investigate all of your options. Ads can be found everywhere---the yellow pages, the Internet, the newspaper, etc. Ads can be misleading. Ask QUESTIONS. You deserve ANSWERS. As a starting point, you might want to consider the following questions: How long has this agency/ person been in the business of adoption? Where is their office located? What are their credentials? Do they provide birth parents with supportive counseling both before and after placement? Who provides the counseling? Who pays for the counseling? What is the average total adoption cost? Does this include the home study fee? Does it include medical and living expenses for the birth mother? Will they provide you with names and telephone numbers of prior clients, ideally those that reside in the Central Valley? Personal references are one of your most reliable resources. What is the average wait to receive a baby/child? Bottom Line: You have the right to shop for service. You are building YOUR FAMILY.
