November is National Adoption Month and the theme for 2010 is "You don't have to be perfect match to be a perfect parent". Being a parent is about teaching and learning from each other. There are so many reputable places out there who genuinely want to match children with families for an ideal situation. By match I mean some agencies think that by placing children with the perfect couple for them, such as a same ethnic or nationality back ground, the family unit will have a better chance of fluidity. You can't always "match" people together but sometimes it works.
Having had three children of my own I've learned not any two of them are alike. We all have different relationships and yet we all love each other, whether it is on a one on one basis or as a family unit.
Searching online can bring a lot of agencies to your finger tips. These agencies will have an info packet you can send for to help with your decisions. This will allow you to pick the agency you think would be easier for you to work with.
Some agencies have restrictions, for example, some Christian agencies will not allow a same-sex couple to adopt. Because of the law which doesn't allow discriminations, theses agencies find themselves between religious beliefs and governmental law. Some of these agencies have found themselves having to close their doors in their dilemma.
Whether you are facing an unplanned pregnancy or looking to adopt here are a few agencies that will be helpful.

Bethany Christian Services—this agency touches on the dilemma of abortion.
