Hi Linda,


As it stands right now it depends on the agency you are using. Some agencies are moving VERY quickly, and others a bit more slowly. It also depends on the age of the child you are wanting a referral for. The younger the child the longer the wait. I'm seeing some people finishing the process start to finish in under 6 months. There have been rumors of some people finish in 3 & 4 months. BUT most of these adoptions were for children over 12 months old and/or special needs.

I know some of the bigger agencies are telling people to expect the process to take 12-18 months.

I think it's fairly safe to say that you can expect a 6-10 month wait for a referral and then travel 4-6 weeks after accepting the referral.

BUT it all varies with the agency you use!

Best of Luck!!
