good standing with the BBB does this mean everything is good? Can you trust them more? Lesia

All that means is there haven't been any complaints filed against them. It is a good sign that they are a good agency with all their ducks in a row. The best thing to do is to call the agencies you are interested in and ask them the same questions (come up with a list of things that are important to you to know...fees, what are the fees for, how many children placed each year, what is the wait time, how does the process work, etc). I found our agency to be the one I was the least interested in on paper, but once I talked with them they were awesome! I would be leary of any agency that doesn't willingly share information with you.

Good luck!
Cynthia

I agree, it means that no one has complained about them. But talk with them first and see what kind of feeling you get from them.

No, the BBB is awesome, but not so much with adoption agencies.

Adoption facilitators aren't legal in many states because they have quite the reputation for coercing women into placing their babies for adoption. Not all facilitators do that of course! But some do, it is part of their job. They are hired by the adoptive parents to find babies for families in need.

I'm MUCH more comfortable with an agency because then mom will be going to the agency, the facilitator won't be out in the community looking for a mom. Also with an agency you want to make sure of two things. 1. that mom is getting counseling and 2. that they explore parenting with all their expectant moms. Also make sure they are not a part of the NCFA. the national counsel for adoption is a VERY corrupt organization.
