We are hoping to adopt.
I am wondering if I am using the right approach in getting matched. We are using an agency and word of mouth campaign.
I know some adoptions are done independently of agencies and I am not sure how the meet: lawyer, internet, referral.
Anyway, I am wondering for those of you who have placed childern recently -- how did you go about finding a birth family?
1) Referral
2) Agency
3) Internet Advertising

Start a website.
Its easy, I started a free one on a free hosted site. Not many options, but it worked. Someone in the car club I am in saw it, and offered to host and layout an official site for us.
Within a month of him making the page, through a friend of a friend, someone saw the site, and on July 30th our child was born. Took 3 months from launch of the site, to a baby in our arms!!!

I started it so family and friends could help with donations, now that I have adopted, and once I have the time, I want to turn the page into a non profit style charity thing.
To find a free website just google free web hosting or something like that. There are tons out there, and they will even walk you through how to set it all up. (Just make sure you find a truly free site, unless you have the money to pay to host an official domain similar to what I have).
Best of luck!!!
