You should post this on the Russia forum as you'll get more answers there. However, to adopt a baby (and 18 months is about the youngest you can get a child out of Russia now) - the wait will be longer. Our process was 7 months total in 2005 and that was still rare + we were adopting 2 older children (age 6 and 7). The wait lists are longer for babies/toddlers and now that there are fewer agencies working in Russia - it's just the nature of the beast. Of course, the agency you work with is important - be sure they are fully accredited and working in numerous regions...that can increase your chances. Also, you openess to special needs can help.
Good luck!
