Ours was 9 months from the day we started the process to the day we brought H home, only 5 months from the home study being completed.
There are lots of variables involved, though. For us, we were open about race, we live in a state w/ a high teen pregnancy rate, and we had a very helpful coordinator who gave us lots of good direction and support. We wound up in an open adoption (not what we'd planned, really) w/ a great family. H is a healthy baby that looks very much like he could be our biological child, and I got to be in the delivery room when he was born. There are challenges throughout this process, but being open to possibilities can have surprising rewards.
