When I was first doing a search for a local agency, I pulled out the phone book and there is a lot in there. If you don't have one, your library will. But do some research about the agencies before you go with one. I was originally with a domestic agency that went out of business a month later, and I'm a bit embarrased to say I didn't research it well enough. I didn't make that mistake again. but the phone book is a great starting point. Good luck!! I hope you find a good supportive agency. *big hugs*

Hello, Im a birthmom that placed over 20 years ago and the options were so limited. The times have changed so much now!! I am now on the other side of things and pursuing adoption. So DH and I looked at several agencies and adoption attorneys and we found a very reputable place (did tons of research). Our biggest concern was treatment of birthmoms and access to therapy and support. 20 years ago, I was offered none of that. Placing a child is one of the hardest decisions you will ever make. I would Google away and then check the Better Business Bureau ratings. If they pass that test, you can call and ask for referances!! Any reputable place should have a list of other moms you can email or call to find out what their experience was. YOU have every right to choose your baby's family and s/he does not have to go to Mormons. I hope you find a situation that feels right for you

I would be very so much interested in giving the child a home. I am 26 told I was going threw menopause and cant have kids. I would love by the grace of God to take the baby in our home. I have no kids 4 bedroom house and my husband is a fire man. I love kids please let me know either way. I would really love to be your child mother. I dont mind paying for your doctor medical bills as well if needed. :grouphug:
Hi .. my only additional comment would be that if you do decide to call a lawyer, a good way to find one is through the adoptionattorneys.org website. The lawyers there are members of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and have to have significant experience to qualify as a member. I needed to hire 3 different adoption attorneys and found them through here with good results. GOOD LUCK TO YOU TO YOU.
I would love to be able to help anyway i can. i was a teen mom. My daughter is almost 7, i know there is allot to deal with during a pregnancy. i dont know anything about agencies or adoption, but if you want some one to talk to about anything, feel free to e-mail me. i didnt really read the rules so i wont post my phone number...... but you can look me up on Face Book if you would like. its Michelle Bytheway...... there are not many with my name. Good luck

Melodeanne -- your message points out one of the many hard things about adoption, whichever side of it you're on: there's just too many options! Just what you want when your back is up against a big emotional wall: agencies to research and family profiles to read. Whichever way you go, follow your gut. If you feel strongly about the kind of family, stick with it. There are thousands of agencies and thousands more families who are hoping to pursue an adoption independently -- more than enough for you to be able to stick with what's important to YOU. Hang in there, and good luck.
Hello, my husband and I have an approved adoption home study. We were planning to adopt over sees. We have a 7 year old son that loves babies (he is a sweet child). My husband and I both have a university education and live in a nice home on the east coast of the USA. I will not pay anyone for a child, but if you want your baby to have a good life, with educated parents that can provide for their every need. We are your family. You can contact my social worker at kristie@adoptionpromises.com

If you go with an adoption attorney, please make sure they are only representing you. If they are also representing the adoptive parents your best interests may not be served. Counseling is also really important. Go to a regular counselor, not one adoption related. I have immense concerns about how agencies and attornies operate in Utah.
