Alternative Low Cost List:
​
I have a list of places I can provide you to look at to register with. I hope with my low cost fees compared to other consultants it provides you some financial wiggle room to register with a couple other agencies or places. Fees range from $100-$950. I can also provide you a custom list based on your budget and preferences (for example if you want to attempt to match closer to where you live) as well.

​
Things to avoid or be aware of:
Adoptomist.com - many families have reported only scams on this site.
Also if someone sends you a picture you can do a reverse image on google, and if they have no social media its a huge red flag.
Get proof of pregnancy EARLY and it is a must. Have a separate phone line for them to call so you are not giving out your phone number and a separate email account to write from so you are not sharing personal email addresses.
We have also made business like cards with our website/Facebook account that we hand out. Social media has been huge, we have gotten contacted a few times but birth moms have been drug addicted.
