Ideas

When I was considering adoption a few months ago, I first looked at agencies- they are all over the web and they have ads in papers and they offer to pay for things like food and housing, which was attractive at first because I was broke and pregnant. But they are very business oriented, they don't explain other options, and can be pushy. I talked to other birthmothers who were hurt by agencies and lied to, and decided I could not go through that. I chose to terminate my pregnancy because of that. I would have preferred meeting a family I knew somehow or through someone I knew and have gotten a guarantee of an open adoption- but I don't know if that is legally possible.
