WE have a new baby about 8 1/2 months old and her bmother was not LDS. The birth mother we met even and it was a great experience. She grew up with members and loved our beliefs. That is why she went through our angency. IF you have any ?'s, about it please feel free to email.

Hi,
Actually, I know quite a few instances where LDS families did not use LDS FS. One reason is because there is currently a 2 child limit, meaning you can only adopt or have 2 children. Those who have already adopted or had 2 children have to go through another agency unless it is a designated adoption.(the 2 child limit doesn't apply in designated adoption) Other LDS people have used other agencies because reasons like wanting a more open adoption (LDS FS historically does semi-open and closed adoptions, although that has changed some recently) or just because of preference for a certain social worker or agency.
It really just comes down to personal preference. I beleive the reason most people go through LDS FS is because of the religious connection and the lower costs.
Happy Friday!
