MayDay - he's 18 months old.
lilfish - we had 3 options on how to do it. immediate adoption placement, wait until he had a specific doctor's appointment or he could be a foster placement with us for 6 months to qualify for the adoption subsidy. we chose the foster with intent to adopt (6 month placement) so that he could qualify for the subsidy. he's considered a "moderate level" of care and is delayed quite a bit (no speech other than "yeah" and "no"), so he *may* require years of therapy. the agency and caseworker supervisor gave us the advice to go with that choice. we would have done immediate adoption placement! in fact, i went and picked him up and he's staying with us for the weekend. he should be placed with us by the 24th!
