Estimated Timeline to Adoption

We know that going through the process can be frustrating, and can feel like it’s taking a very long time. You have our word that we’ll move as efficiently as possible, but we won’t rush at the times when slow, thoughtful and planful are required. You’ll thank us for that later. Promise.

Youth don’t much like the wait, either. As Amanda told us many years ago, “waiting for a family is like being a puppy in the free box…except when you’re a teen, it’s like being a big dog with its legs flopping over the sides.”
