Hey everyone!
I was just kindof wondering where everyone is from, and where they have their profiles out. I am interested to know what the waiting time is from area to area. (Just to get an idea) My husband and I are from small town Idaho, have been married for about 5 years. We are living in New Jersey right now, but are planning on moving back to Idaho soon. Our profile has been out for a little while. We are so excited about adoption. Our lives have been touched so many times by adoption. I guess that after all of the fun fertility issues we went through that it was such an easy and comfortable choice to make. Right now is an exciting and crazy time...you guys know...you never know what to expect. I want to call our social worker every week for an update. I am trying to keep myself busy with projects and just learning everything I can about the process we are about to go through. Thanks for listening!!! Best wishes to all of you!!

I 'm from Idaho...I think the wait depends on when your special child is ready to come to you...
We waited for 2 years with LDSFS and eventually adopted from a another agency. Do I feel that we were meant to wait 2 years for a child ( at the time I'd say "definitly NO" , it was very hard to wait!)
but now I know that we waited for a purpose and that this child was meant to be with us.
It really depends on what type for family the Birthparents are looking for. I saw families in Eastern Idaho...some waited 6 months... some waited 5 years so there is really no way to tell.
Hang in there and there are some great Social Workers here in Idaho...it should be fine and Good Luck with your Adoption

I know they told me that the average wait time was 18 months, but I have a friend that got matched the day after she sent out her profiles and had her baby by the end of the week. I also know a couple that has been waiting 8 yrs. I was told if I was ready and waiting then we would be one of the longer ones, but if I wasn't quite ready yet (like remodeling our home!) then murphy's law would kick in and we'd get matched quickly. LOL
I hope it takes at least 6 months, I am still trying to get my house all put together!! As it stands, my hubby is averaging 2 questions per month on his 40 question-quiz. LOL We probably won't have our profile sent out til sometime next year at the rate he's going!!
Meanwhile, I am learning to crochet, and I am making several presents for the bparents. As well as finishing our house/yard.
Good Luck!!
