How long did you wait?

I know this question has been asked several times, but just humor me please!

How long from your "activation" to placement?

Thanks!

    For DD#1 we matched after being active for 10 months. She was born 2 months later. Due to a birth father issue, she went to transitional care for 31 days and we had placement after that.

    The wait for DD#2 was 20 months to the day. She was already born, so there was no additional waiting time.

    Did you go through an agency? Domestic, Foster or International?

    Define "activation"

    We waited 10 months from the time we sent in our application. We waited 3.5 months after our profile went active

    We are adopting older children from foster care. We were "activated" 12/5/12 and we have our interview with our match on June 7th.  So about 6 months.

    I waited over 4 years.  Mine was a bit of a different circumstance, I am a single woman, and I went thru the foster care system.  But well worth the wait.  I brought my son home at 4 months old and his adoption was finalized one week after first birthday.  He turns 3 in a month.
