So is it a myth when people talk about a huge waiting list for adopting a baby?
Not a myth if you want a newborn, like most people do. If you would like an *older* child (toddler+), or especially sibiings, it's not as long.
BUT...
They didn't just sign up last month and get the babies ... the initial process is a long one.
We are adopting through an agency that works with the foster system...so that's different than the process to adopt privately. But it hasn't been that bad for us. We started the process back in September. We had to take about 50 hours of class plus other preparation. We took a month off the process while we were moving.
We were licensed in late January. She was placed with us at the end of February, and he this week.
Of course, the adoptions won't be finalized in court for 6 months. But the time from starting the process until getting a placement depends on ..what age range you are willing to accept, and what race, as well if you are a good match. But it's compe ive.. over 200 families were submitted for him and they (CPS) choose us.
If you want/are willing to adopt a child with some special needs (ADHD, some trauma, autistic, etc) you could probably have someone call you within a few weeks of getting paperwork in. I have a family that is very picky about what they want to adopt on my caseload- a blonde haired blue eyed little girl who just happens to be a libra (in a nuts ...) with no special needs. Needless to say they've been waiting to hear back from us longer than a family who wants a baby.
I know that the process has been long and tedious for LJ and Kori. I'm so happy for them. It's such an exciting time for them.
And probably some of ours thrown in there. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
Not long at all, relatively. Six months start to placement is incredibly short as you know.
yeah six months sounds mad fast
Yeah considering that we took a six week break.
Basically, you can get licensed in about 3 months -- that includes classes, background checks, paperwork etc. Then it's just a matter of waiting for a match. I know of someone who is open to the same age group and all races, but they haven't been matched in 18 months -- but they aren't as cool as usSo their file (called a homestudy) isn't as impressive.
Just as an aside, how messed up is it that there are kids that need love and a home, but you need a license and any random person can just make babies. Does that make sense?
