Fastest way to adopt a newborn

In all honesty, I think your budget is probably the single biggest factor in how long your wait will be. If you have a high budget you will be able to be shown on many situations that people who have a lower budget cannot even consider. We are were 45 and 46 and parents of 5 kids when we adopted. Those are both big factors going against us...but we had 3 matches in less than a year (the first two didn't work out for various reasons), but from start to finish it was 11 months from when we started our homestudy to when we brought home our daughter. We didn't sign with just one agency...we used multiple agencies and referral services and our 3 matches actually came from 3 different agencies. It's possible, if you are willing to do the work and you have a budget that allows you the flexibility to work with different agencies. Best of luck!!!
