but not as bad as one would think.

I have been trying to get information about it and me and Scott talked about it again last night. Based on the very little I know so far, we would have no problem getting through the home study part. We both are clean and background checks will be easy for us. We own our house and have plenty of room. We have been married long enough, both have stable jobs and income. One thing that will hurt us, is Scott being military. It is a black spot in that many states have residency requirements and cant take the child across state lines and other laws that make military adoption very difficult.

I am still researching about agency/lawyer/private adoption, there are many ways to go about this and I want to do the best thing for us that will get our names out there and get us matched the fastest.

It's very exciting actually. Some information says to start getting the nursery ready as soon as you are approved for adoption. LOL.

Average wait is about 18 months.

It's hard to not get excited. :)
