I can tell you that I would have loved to know which agencies matched at night before I signed with one. Fortunately, America World does indeed stay up the night the list comes out, so it worked out great for me. Other families are not so lucky. They had to find out the hard way. As nerve wracking as the list is, I can't imagine how bonkers I would be if AWAA did not match as soon as the list comes out. Anyway, my friend Kristen did a poll on which agencies do stay up and I thought I would share it here. I think it is very helpful information!
| Agency Name | Available at night? |
| A Helping Hand | Yes |
| Adoption Associates Inc. | Yes |
| Americans Adopting Orphans | Yes |
| Bay Area Adoption Services (BAAS) | Yes |
| Bethany | No |
| Children's Home Society and Family Services | Yes |
| Chrysalis | Yes |
| Dillon | Yes |
| EACI Inc. | Yes |
| European Adoption Consultants (EAC) | Yes |
| FTIA (Families Through International Adoption) | Yes |
| Gladney | Yes |
| Great Wall China Adoption (GWCA) | Yes |
| Holt | Yes |
| Lifeline Adoption | Yes |
| Living Hope Adoption Agency | Yes |
| Nightlight Christian Adoption | Yes |
| Small World Adoptions | Yes |
| Spence Chapin | Yes |
| WACAP | Yes |
| WASATCH | Yes |
| Wide Horizons fir Children (WHFC) | Yes |
Hopefully, this list will be helpful! Let me know if you want to add your agency to the list, if it isn't already represented.

I'm glad I'm off the merrygoround because the agency we used for both our adoptions (Bethany) doesn't stay up which is a bummer since so many do.
My agency has a Beijing office and watched the lists and calls the St. Louis office which locks files in the night and calls very early in the morning.
