Licensing Wait Time- NJ

I know this question was probably asked numerous times, however, I wanted to know if anywhere is aware of the actual waiting time for adoption approval in NJ?  I am trying to get a sense of the wait after the home inspection and necessary trainings?

What are your experiences in other states?

    Are you talking foster care?  That's the only time a person would be "licensed" in NJ.

    If you are talking straight adoption, it depends on the agency you are using.  Some have high caseloads and/or are inefficient (in which case you'll most likely wait several months, almost a year), while others can turn your homestudy around in about 2 months or so.

    Once you have your homestudy approval, you would then start your international process or put together a domestic profile and "go active" waiting for a match domestically.  Waiting for a successful match can take anywhere from a few days to multiple years.

    I'm sorry there's no more precise information to offer you.  What type of adoption are you considering?
