Hi all, Am hoping anyone who has adopted domestically could give me input here. We have been paper-ready since April. Our agency has had all placements up til now take no more than 3 months-- but said 3-6 mo might be a better estimate for us since we are requesting a girl. (we've had 4 sons in a row). We feel good about our agency-- good rep, nice people, etc--and they currently have our profile out at 4 other agencies. Our sw says we wrote a fabulous profile and she has every confidence it WILL happen for us eventually.

While looking on the internet over the weekend, I got info about 3 possible situations with another facilitator. To submit to these birthmoms all they ask is a family profile and copy of HS-- no money because these are AA situations.

I would really like to submit our info for these situations. And I think our sw would do it for us if we asked. But I have already been kind of a pesky client, I am afraid, (calling every week--friendly and polite, but still pesky perhaps) and don't want our sw to get tired of me. So, what do you think? Should we stick withwhat we have and hope it happens soon? Or should we risk wearing out our sw by asking her to submit to a 5th agency for us?

Oh, and one other factor is that b/c of our large family already, I am thinking there will be fewer birthmoms interested in us, so it seems to me that it would be good to broaden our search. But I don't want our sw to think we have no faith in what she is already doing for us...
