[quote=Anonymous]Domestic adoption: 1 year for paperwork, 8 months from eligibility (approved home study) to baby (biracial Black/white) - no known special needs prior to birth (or since, but I think what you're asking is about prenatal drug exposure/etc.) We had no racial preference. We had one fall through, also biracial (Asian American/white). Overall we did spend about $60k, but that was because the fall-through was at the last minute so we had all the legal, medical bills to pay for that and for the successful adoption. There was NO "speeding" the process, everything was just based on being picked (and then, in the first case, "unpicked"). Best of luck! [/quote]
