my experience was 10 months from application drop off, to acceptance and activation....basically officially waiting....then it was 13 months from waiting to first contact...then 2 months later we had a 3.5 yr old girl....maybe next time we'll get an infant...i really knew we wouldn't this time...it was odd how confounded we'd get while trying to prepare for an infant....both of us would lose intrest and wander over to the little girls dresses section......so it wasn't a shocker when HF told this mom that we were the ones who should parent her 3.5 yr old girl....by the way, she isn't LDS...and we weren't listed anywhere else...it truly was a miracle how it all happened.....and she's the one who said, "God told me you were the ones"....
