It took me personally about 2 years exactly from the DAY we picked up the paperwork, till the DAY we were notified that we had a match (that resulted in a placement)
It was not love at first sight....I haven't met a single amom who didn;t go through some sort of transition/adjustment process and most moms take about 9 months AFTER placement to feel "bonded" and like the child is "theirs"....kind of a classic gestation period, but with the added job of active parenting...
Not sure what you mean by complications...Was it all easy, no bumps and smooth going?? No...nothing is perfect, especially adoption. Do I have any regrets about how it was all handled?? No, it all went as well as it could. There was soft holds where we weren't picked (over 60 times) and one failed match before we got our daughter. ....and she turned out to be a 3.5 yr old rather than an infant like you picture expecting...but it all happened just the way it was meant to be! Bumps and all
