Those who started at the same time as us, and were waiting for a boy referral, now have their referrals and are waiting to travel to meet their children. So, about 6 months to referral and 9 months to travel.

I hope that helps! Agencies are different in what constitutes the actual wait. Some from application, others from homestudy completion, some you wait before you submit your formal application and then things go quickly from there. It's that whole apples and oranges thing... keeping us PAP's (Prospective Adoptive Parents) on our toes!
