Your question is to general to give any direct answers to.
Are you speaking of foster care adoption, domestic newborn, international??
What do you mean by "perfect child for you"?
Color, age, race, personality??
It is a child, not a puppy. |

Usually takes about a year.. a bit longer for the final signings that were forgotten to all show up and be handled...
Doesn't take money, just being able to prove that you make enough to support yourself and the child without the adoption subsidy.
No, you can't choose 'the perfect child for you'. By nature, children aren't perfect, and if you're only willing to take a child that is 'just so', then this probably isn't the right choice for you yet. |

I actually just did a little bit of research on this the other day. From what I understand, the average wait time is about 2 years. And you do get to pick your own child. |

it takes a few months for the homestudy process. If you are doing international adoption the process from the time your dossier is accepted can be 1 to 5 years (1 year for say Ethiopia or Russia the wait for China is anticipated to grow to 5 years) the wait for domestic is variable you could be picked in 1 month or it could take years. I don't know why people are telling you that you get to pick your child this is not WalMart and it is a little insulting to put it that way. The process for domestic is the birth parents get to pick the APs, I don't know anyone who adopted domestically who got to "pick" a child. The process is more complex than that. You do need to provide proof that you are able to financially support your child. Good luck |

Im not sure how long it takes....you must make a certain amount of money to adopt tho,and it also costs money to adopt a child.....however you are allowed to choose the child...they are not going to throw a child and parents together when it could be a bad relationship for both...they want both parties to be happy |
