When considering adoption agencies, parents need to look at a myriad of different issues. One would be how much the cost is going to be. They should compare over all. The internet will really help you. Before there was the internet, people really couldn't do a really good comparison. You can do a quick, efficient comparison of the costs. You should look at the countries that you want to go to or if you are looking into a domestic program. You need to really do an overall comparison of what each agency is offering compared to what you need, what your needs are. Then, definitely make the call, talk to them and you will get a feeling for what they are all about. Lastly, please ask for recommendations.
