Hi, I have had two adoptions through foster care, both with the wait under one year. Our first adoption was an 18 month old little girl. It was actually one year from the first time we contacted social services to the time we were matched. We are in the process of adopting a 3 year old little boy right now. We again waited just one year. It does seem like it will never happen ... but it does. My suggestion - I would not just sit and wait for the phone to ring. Our second adoption was a direct result of our self-advocacy skills with our social worker. Good luck, Kalynn.
