We know from personal experience that it is difficult to wait patiently for the adoption process to occur. You just want to bring your child home! It is important for you to realize that adoption time frames vary depending on various programs but typically adoptive parents bring their child home 6-12 months from the time that they initially apply. Please keep in mind that this is an AVERAGE time quote. Each adoption is an individual process and brings with it the possibility of unpredictable variables.
We feel it is crucial that prospective adoptive parents become educated in the adoption process. Understanding the steps involved, prepares families for what lies ahead. With understanding comes patience.
