How to adopt

[chroniclessb]

Hi, my partner and I really want a sprog. How long does the adoption process for a normal lesbian couple take?

As long as for anyone else. Although some countries discriminate against same-sex couples adopting, those that allow it make no distinction in waiting times. if it's an open adoption, the birth mother either chooses you or does not choose you, just like with any other couple. If social services makes the choice, or you are adopting from an orphanage who makes the choice, the choice is based on what is the best family situation for the child. If you are adopting an infant, be prepared to wait a long time for a healthy infant. Older children, the wait is shorter. My husband and I saw no discrimination in the classes we attended or the literature we read in our province in Canada, but every state/country is different.

In America. The same as everyone else.

Do you want to foster/adopt? Or just adopt an infant? Foster care you could adopt babies/ children or teens. If you adopt private, the parents choose. Don't know where you live, but I would look up adoption agencies or Call CPS.
