Hi everyone,
Just wondering what type of adoption (domestic, international, special needs) that others in Michigan are doing and how long the process has taken so far. I'll start:

Domestic adoption, one or two children, ages 0-4
First meeting with agency- Sept. 03
Submitted formal application- Oct. 03
Homestudy approved- Feb. 04
Waiting time so far since approval- 3 months

My husband and I are in the process of an international adoption from Guatemala. We are waiting on referral of an infant boy. Our timeline is as follows:

Homestudy completed 3/04
Fingerprinted for INS 3/19/04
Foreign dossier to agency for authentication 4/21/04
Waiting on INS approval to accept referral, should have approval within next 4 weeks or so.
Travel to pickup our son 4-6 months after acceptance of referral provided there are no complications!!
