Gina79,

Have you tried attending adoption info. seminars (either live or tele seminars) in your area? That would be a good start to get all the information that you need.

You don't necessarily have to choose local agency to pursue international adoption. If you'd like I can PM you couple of agencies that I have chosen should our last IVF attempt fail. They conduct tele seminars all the time. Let me know. Hope this helps.

I am so so sorry about your loss.

Good luck,
Vinita

Vinita,

I would love for you to send the agencies you picked. Thank you. I didn't even know they had tele seminars either. Thank you for your hugs as well. We are still going through the grieving process but will try one more ivf attempt as well this summer/fall. My fingers are crossed for you that your next attempt works. Take care.

Gina

Gina, I also live in MA. We did domestic adoption, but joined a group called Adoptions Communities of New England (ACONE) and they are a great resource. They have a website which will give you some good information as well. Best of luck to you!
