There's no point to this post other than curiosity and getting to know everyone here.
Where are you in the process? Researching? Matched? Placement made? Adoption finalized?

    We are awaiting a court date for finalization. We've had Bruce home with us for almost 8 months, and he is 14.5m old!

    We are also in the research phase for foster to adopt, but it will probably be about a year before we begin that process.

    We picked our agencies and will start the domestic infant adoption process once we move and save a little more money.

    I have been a lurker here for awhile :) We have officially started the process and had a workshop this weekend with Independent Adoption Center for DIA. There was a lot of information and I'm kind of feeling a little overwhelmed and stressed about starting the home study process but very ready to get everything going. Any helpful info to pass along is very welcome!

    We are FTA with our first placement in July, a three-week old girl. We are hopeful adoption will happen in the next year.

    We are in the researching stage. My H and I met with two agencies, and we will be attending an info session in October for another one. Hoping to choose by mid-late October. Especially since most have a wait list to get into the actual program.

    Matched with a foster son since may 9th 2014. (Was just over 8 months old) He just turned a year old. Court date is set for jan 20th 2015 and will find out if they stop FR or give the BP six more months. Hopefully 120 days from jan 20th court date we will get termination of parental rights and begin our paperwork!

    I'm a birthmom, chose her parents Aug 2013, gave birth Jan 8, and placed her Jan 10. In a very open adoption.

    We are foster-to-adopt but also fostering. We currently have two sisters 5 and 8 who have been with us since Feb. 14. They should have reunified already but mother is dragging her feet. 

    We may just do foster respite next and wait for a FTA situation. Our friends adopted an infant recently and it got us feeling antsy that we haven't started down the path to our permanent family.
