Hi Rebecca,
The waiting can be difficult but it does eventually pass. I found the process ended up being over three years for each of our kids. Sometimes the delays were at the Oz side and sometimes the overseas side.
The hardest time was when we had our two children allocated to us in India and then had to wait a total of 19 months before we could travel to meet them. That was a long, long time to know those two were to be our children but I couldn't bring them home yet. The toughest part was celebrating two birthday for my son while he remained in an orphanage. He was 3 years old when we accepted his allocation and 5 when we brought him home. He's now 12 years old and those times are a distant memory.
May the wait pass quickly for you, and once your child is with you - you will barely remember a time you didn't have them in your life.
