I used Demastus Law Office in Oklahoma for all three aopdtion. They acts as both the agency and the attorney, they did the advertising although you could pay extra to do additional adveritising. They also provided alot of services such as counselling and escorting the birthmoms to the doctor, finding apartments, furniture etc.. They act as a second ( sometmes first) mom to the women.
I think this is the MOST imortant part. The counselling and services ehlp wot ensure that you are mathced with a birthmom who is sure about her decision and then will follow through. In addition, making sure that the women get good prenantal care is crucial.
The cost of the adoptions was not cheap $31,000 - $35,000 just for their fees and birthmom expenses ( more for local homestudy and travel). However, I think we saved in the long ru by doing things with someone who will ensure that issues are handled as they occur ( and they might!) One great thing about using a lawyer is that they represent you in the event of problems.
