I am sorry you have had to experience infertility. Unfortunately, I and my dh know those ropes all too well.
As for "how long" ---I have heard stories that it has taken weeks to years, literally. Depending on the type of adoption (private, domestic, int'l, older kids, etc..)
We got VERY lucky. We were certified in only 9 wks (usually takes 4-5 mths around here. Looking for a private adoption of Caucasion healthy newborn (which we were told to expect to wait a long time for!). Anyway---like I said, we have been VERY lucky....after attorneys in our area had our profiles for only 1 mth, our profile was presented to 1 birthmom and then another one 3 wks later. Just a few days ago, we found out that we were matched with the first one. It's almost unbelieveable.
Don't let the "wait" dishearten your desire for a child. Hold you dream close to your heart and anything is possible!
