Hey! I just saw your post asking abut where we are in the process...
We have been waiting 27 months for a domestic adoption placement. The good news is that we haven't had any failed matches, but the wait is getting old!
WOW, that's a long wait!! Can I ask what agency you are using?
I had major baby fever, so we went the consultant route. We matched in 7 weeks and our son was born one week later. It all happened so fast that we were truly in shock when we became parents.
We're starting to talk about our 2nd, and I just don't think we can spend the money to do the consultant route again. We may use a small local agency that has pretty low fees, but I suspect that we may wait a long time because this time we are going to be specific with wanting AA/CC. With our first we were really open minded about race, but now I think we want to stick to the same race as DS. I'm a very impatient person, so a longer wait may drive me totally nuts
You aren't by any chance in Atlanta, are you? We have an awesome group of girls in Atl that formed a group from the Nest adoption board. I've made some amazing friends and they are all so supportive of each other.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you have a placement soon! It is DEFINITELY your time!!!
