[quote=Anonymous]I agree with other posters - start now. At the very least, get your home study started. It can take a while to get everything done - ours took about three months in all just for scheduling issues, etc. The home study only lasts for one year, but most of it can be easily updated if your adoption takes a bit longer than that. Then hook up with an agency (if you are doing an agency adoption) or prepare your website and birthmother letter, etc (if you are going the private route). There's a lot of information to gather and thinking about what you will write in your birthmother letter, as well as gathering photos, etc. Then if you go with an agency, you can always turn down birth mothers if you aren't ready, and if you are going the independent/private route, you can always get all your information together and wait to put it online or advertise.[/quote]
