The process can take 18 months- 2 years from start to finish however, Filipino parents do take precedence over other waiting families!
Your best bet would be to contact an agency in the states that has a Philippines program and explain your situation. We used Hand in Hand International Adoptions.
I would also recommend Holt International and You do not have to live in the same states as the agency.
Good luck.

you are located in korea?
unfortunately I am unable to offer you advice as korea is likely to have a different relationship and laws with the philippines.
good luck, though!
