One question would be... are you indeed waiting for a girl? You stated in your post that now you wanted a girl. If you are being gender specific then the wait is probably longer since you would only be considered in situations where gender was known to be a girl.
If the question is strictly age-related, when DD was born I was almost 36 (DH was turning 50)... DD's first mother was almost 30 at the time of placement. When DS was born I was 38 (DH was 52) and his other mother was 30 when she placed.
It may be a factor that you are already parenting or, it may not. Each mother considering adoption will have her own wishes for the family for her child. When this question comes up from time to time I always relate the fact that our agency told us we might take longer to place because of our ages, our location and our career choices. We were placed both times with a lower than average for our agency wait time and at least the first time around, those three reasons given by the agency ended up being three of the top reason's why DD's other Mom chose us. So you just never know...
I hope it is not much longer... each day is one day closer.
