I too understand the waiting. I began my homestudy and search for a sibling group over a year ago. My first two adoptions were newborns and the longest I had waited was six months, so when my caseworker said I should be matched quickly, I believed her. Even my girls were getting upset with the wait. However when God works , He does it quickly.
I finally had a match and was called on a Thursday afternoon to come tomorrow and pick up my boys--4yr old twins! Believe me they are nothing like newborns. The first month was unreal with temper tantrums and control issues. My girls thought the boys should instantly be happy, after all we wanted them. Thankfully things have settled down some and I've returned to work. I could only afford 2mon at home, but was lucky my supervisor was supportive.
We now have been together 2mon and our family is beginning to settle. My oldest girl is showing some school problems-she decided she didn't have to her homework. and the little one had some behavior problems at school which have now resolved.
The boys have settled into preschool and are doing well. Most of my family is very supportive and the one who isn't oh well.
Good luck with the girls, I hope you hear soon. My mother who birthed triplets said as infants they were easier cuz they entertained each other.
