Apparently this is life

The last few months have brought us some new opportunities.  Mike started a new job in NE, we are officially moving to NE and a few adoption prospects have come our way.  The latest was going to cost us $26,000 which we were not worried about until we talked to the agency.  She was pushing to get this money now and said if we didn't do it she had someone set up to do it.  We said we would like to meet her before we commit to such a lofty expense and she told us there was no time for that, she needed $3500 now.  I mean we wanted to meet on Friday (its Wednesday).  I am now thinking what kind of scam are these people running.  Although we thought the match seemed pretty good at first we have now backed out due to the pushy nature of the agency rep.  I mean this is why we researched our brains out to find a good agency...why can't we get a baby with OUR agency???  And so goes our adoption woes :(
