Has anyone did adopt only thru foster care?

oh and I've been waiting almost 5 months since my homestudy was approved....and it's been a year since I stepped foot into the orientation for fost/adopt.

We are fost/adopt legal risk and want a sibling group of young children. But we only chose basic children which means our wait will be longer. We finished our pre-req stuff in August and havent heard a thing. So, we are simply waiting trusting we will hear when we are supposed to. As for babies, they told us if we wanted babies we would have to do foster or want babies with some medical or drug issues. We really arent looking for infant anyway so we just choose basic children.
