Help Me Decide What To Do Next!

Our story so far: We have signed up with 3 referral services (Hands to Hold, Heaven Sent, and Little Bit of Heaven) and one agency (One World, FL). We've been shown once with H2H, once with HS, and a few times with LBoH, but nothing yet. (Obviously.) I'm just about done revising and updating our profile book, and I need to decide what to do next.

So my first inclination is to perhaps up the age a little bit so you have a better shot of what you want without nearly all the problems. If the baby is 2, that's older and the kid will likely never remember their birth parents unless contact is kept.

My second inclination is to do A bundle of Joy. Not just for the price, but also because the birth family will be far away. The birth mother might have a lot of problems that she wants to attach to you because you're a stable family. You are too kind, and someone who lives closer might try for more physical access if you're going to go with an open adoption. Those are my thoughts.

Hi Krista,
Actually, adopting a toddler is harder to do privately. Most children placed privately are under 6 months. To adopt older, we'd have to go through the foster system, which we don't want to do for many reasons.
