The wait feels like forever, but it takes 9 months to give birth and about 18 months for an international adoption, so it's very reasonable.

How many kids are you wanting to foster and/or adopt?
I am thinking about fostering up to 3 (ages 0-3) and hopefully eventually adopting 1-2 (for right now).

So are you strictly fost/adopt and not fostering? I was looking at going with your agency, but another poster said that they denied her b/c she was single and worked full time, so they were not going to place an infant with her.
