The waiting is the hardest part. It will happen my best advise it to regularly touch base with your social worker. After my homestudy was finally done I was very proactive in the search and would meet with the social worker every 2-3 weeks to see what responses she recieved. I also would call and check on any kids I could. Some states will only talk with social worker. I had my homestudy out for more then 50 kids at any one time.
I saw my daughter on the internet and called myself. If I was not so active looking I would have waited much longer then the year and half I did. The other advice I would have for you is join a support group for adoption. They will help with the wait and maybe be contacts for other kids. Best of luck.
