Questions on Adoption?

Also! Would it be hard to find an older child without some sort of disability?
Additional Details
What age bracket of children can you (realistically) adopt? (like 1-15 years old or 2-18 years old)

How long does the adoption process take? (From begging to search to bringing the child into your home)

I am making a webcomic in which one of the characters will eventually adopt, and this info would be extremely helpful :) Thanks in advance!

It's actually very easy to find older children that are healthy because after kids in orphages/foster care reach a certain age people dont want them. The reason for this is that most adoptive parents want babies so people think they had it. Children just past toddler age and beyond are the easiest to adopt because most people just want babies. Some adoptions take days while some take years. It all depends on a variety of factors: how picky you are with gender, race, age, country...if you're not picky at all you will get a child very fast. You are doing a wonderful thing, at my age im already thinking of adoption...its a beautiful thing. I hope you get a child soon :)

"Would it be hard to find an older child without some sort of disability?"

No it wouldn't be hard.....most Paps don't want to bother with them.

Paps will sit on wait lists for years just to get a shiny new healthy baby and turn their backs on the kids in foster care....healthy or not over the age of 5.

Maybe you could also research the impact of adoption/adopting on people and have your adopting character convey realistic and authentic feelings?
