[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op we adopted a healthy AA baby 6 years ago through domestic adoption. We used adoptions together in MD as our agency. 
She is happy and healthy. We started the process in March 2011, finished all the paperwork, home studies etc in Nov 2011 and brought DD home in July 2012. So our total time was less than 2 years.

I would contact Adoptions Together. You can then attend an informal meeting for free to decide if its something you want to pursue.[/quote]

I'm a different poster than above, but had a very similar experience with the same agency.  Also have acquaintances who have adopted healthy latino or african american infants even more quickly from states in the South; not sure if they used out of state agencies or attorneys.

Also, TBH, this is the worst place to ask questions about adoption. There are a lot of posters with anti-adoption/adoptee biases who tend to frequent this board. They assume that the only available children have serious health or emotional problems.  There's a difference between adopting older children who have experienced sufficient trauma to end up in foster care, and adopting infants, but people on this site tend to conflate the two.[/quote]
