We are currently with a private agency that helps children in the system find homes and we were told that the wait could be anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on many factors. We have to take the classes, complete a homestudy, pay a small fee and then work with the agency in locating our children (through the national and state photolistings). We are not doing foster but straight adoption.
There are great threads on here that can give you insight and great advice about what to expect and how to deal with certain behaviors, the therapy that may be necessary and beyond the honeymoon stages. Good luck!
