Patty,
there are some other things you could try that should be quicker than going through the state.
Assuming you have the money already to pay for an adoption, you could send a letter to adoption agencies saying that you are already homestudy approved and looking for a baby to adopt. Ask them to please call you if a situation comes up that they have no family for. Make sure you have a nice profile ready to send out when you get called.
If you are open to different races, it will be easier to get called.
We sent out 30 of these letters and received, I believe four calls from agencies wanting to present our profile to birthmothers.
We were never able to get our agency to give us a copy of our homestudy, so we weren't able to be considered for these babies, so make sure you have a copy in hand that you can send quickly.
You could probably make phone calls instead of sending letters.
Hope this helps
Marilyn
