It IS SO hard. I think the wait is the hardest thing. especially through foster care. Because "your" kids are out there and you worry about them. We are adopting in state. Our worker was not huge on placing out of state, even though we had thoguht about it. Our state is big enough and has plenty of kids. But, from the time we were occicially licensed until placement was 6 months. Our worker thought it would be alot less than that though. We have a sib set of 4, all under 8.
