Hi,
We adopted from Taiwan in 2008. It's hard to sum up the Taiwan program because there are 4 major facilitators that place children and a few smaller, independent ones. Subsequently, they all work at their own pace.
In general, I'd say an 18-24 month wait time for referral, plus an additional 6-8 month court time is realistic for a healthy infant girl. I'd say it'd could be faster for an infant son or a waiting child.
One thing I have observed since being part of the Taiwanese adoption community, is that most of us wait a little longer than quoted. We were told our wait would be about 9-12 months from application to having our infant son home. It was 19 month timeline. Don't get me wrong, in light of many other programs it was a very "fast" adoption. I just wanted you to know that many/most end up having a longer than quoted wait.
