I am the mom of 2 adopted children. I was very lucky to find them. The doctor who diagnosised me with pcos 12 years ago placed both my children with me (and my husband). Believe it or not he/she may be your best resource, after all they are the ones who see the most pregant women, teens and are the ones. So ask your dr. and tell everyone you know that you are interested in adopting after you may get lucky like me. Best of luck
