Pa resident using a facilitator?

Donna, I would be very careful as you pursue these adoption plans. Feel free to contact us on email (rachellyday@aol.com) for a private discussion regarding our experience with this almost exact same situation. Wary in PA

Hi randjfor99 I tried to use your email address but the message didn't go through; if you could private message us via this forum, any information would be greatly appreciated. We are looking to sign up with this facilitator soon. Thanks for any help Donna:)

Hi I was (still am) using a facilitator for about 1 1/2 years right now. I've had 3 failed adoptions, not their fault, it just didn't work out but I decided to go another way. Right now I'm working with an adoption referral/networking service and I guess it's a little of being at the right place, at the right time and that the birthmom liked our profile but we were picked within 3 weeks of registering! Right now our birthmom is due within the next 4 weeks, we're praying that everything continues to go as planned! Let me know if you need any more info, I'll be glad to help!

I am also thinking of using a facilitator, I really like Lifetime in CA and think we'll be using them. I have read that you can pay for medical but not living expenses. Karen- I have never heard of a adoption referral/networking service, do you mind telling me who you used?? Donna- I also looked into Unique adoptions but liked Lifetime better, have you looked into them??

We've been hooked up to Unique Adoptions. We'd be glad to tell you about their "service." Write us.

kal74, Hi, We did look into Lifetime but it seemed that alot of the birthmothers were expecting on-going visits and alot of contact post placement. It is so hard to know who go with, this forum is a good information source because every agency/ facilitator sounds so promising when you are on the net reading their web pages. Good Luck, Donna
