How long did your placement take?
Hello,
My husband and I just applied for newborn adoption through LDS Family Services. We live in Arizona...and we are wondering how long it usually takes to have a child placed with you? Months? Years? We just don't know what to expect!

18 months from application to placement for us, and we were told that was average.

It's different for everyone. I know people who have had placement literally within days of being approved, and others who it has taken three years plus, if at all. Ourselves, we were officially matched just short of six months after being approved, and had placement nine months after being approved. It took us almost seven months to get approved, so from absolute start to finish (paperwork to finalization) was about two years.

In California the average is like 2 - 3 years. We had 2 failed adoptions in 2 years and then ended up switching agencies. But, I have a friend who adopted 4 kids through LDSFS (the same office we had) in 6 years! You really never know.
