This adoption was exactly four years in the doing and we feel that the last six or seven months when we were aggressively on the Internet looking were essential to our success even though we are old 43 and 50 and have been hearing "why don't you look at China" way too much from our home study agency.
Through parentprofiles.com and the other Internet services we were considered for over ten serious infant situations in six months. We have concluded that simply listing with one agency and waiting no longer works. I would highly recommend parentprofiles.com to any prospective adoptive parents both the possibility of matching with a prospective birth mom, but just as much as an online reference for agency situations you find on your own. Having this site allowed agency social workers to see us online before we sent our b/mom letter and determine if we might be someone their b/mom would consider. Having this organized online presence showed them we were prepared and serious so even though we were not one of their existing families we were someone prepared to accept a placement and get them then information they would need to do the paperwork in their state.
