1. They don't realize that adoption is forever.
2. They jump into a situation before they're ready.
3. They don't spend enough time educating themselves about their options.
4. Their expectations are too high or two low.
5. They underestimate the prospective birth father's reaction to their decision.
6. They don't trust their instincts enough.
7. They give too much power to others -- adoption professionals and the waiting adoptive couple.
8. They underestimate their family's influence on their decision.
9. They underestimate their other children's reaction to their decision.
10. They don't say or do things they know they should for fear of scaring off prospective adoptive parents.
