16. How did you come by your decision to make an adoption plan? (A good agency will let the expectant parents take the lead and not push them into ANY option. This is CRUCIAL to reducing the risk of expectant parents changing their minds. The decision HAS to be freely made, and I would run fast from an agency that puts pressure on expectant parents to "give up" a baby.)

17. To what degree did you feel supported by the agency?

18. If you had a friend who was pregnant and needed help deciding what to do, would you recommend this agency?

19. How did you hear about the agency? (You are trying to see how visible the agency is to people in unintended pregnancies.)

20. What kind of relationship do you have now with your child's adoptive family?
