Wait time

Hello,

My husband and I started our adoption journey over 2 years ago and have been on a Colombia waitlist for 1 year. I just found out that the wait is going up to 3 more years and will most likely be even longer than that. At the current rate of infant placement, it would be 10 years!!!

My caseworker suggested that I consider different countries and since Taiwan was one of our first choices, I thought I would re-visit that option.

My question is, how long is the current wait after the dossier has been approved for a healthy infant? My case worker said 18-24 months. Is this true?


Thank you very much!!
