It also helps people to understand what the process may be like for them. Thanks for the transparency!

Adoption is often an emotionally difficult journey no matter who you work with. If you have concerns about your individual situation email or call me and I will give you an honest assessment. Probably I will be able to make you feel better about your situation. awrixon@adoptionhelp.org Honestly, if you are with a licensed agency you made a good choice.

IAC has always been aware that a fairly large number of families get placements very quickly, and the data confirms this. One caution, these figures are over four and a half years, so the 88 families who got a placement within a month averages to less than 20 such placements a year. Yes, the data is correct.

Can that be right? The graphs show that a high amount of couples adopt within the first month of waiting. Can that be right?
