Hi Famtime, Welcome to the forum! We are not with Connections, but just to give you a time indication, for our first application it took 9 months to get socialworkers to start the assessment, the second time 12 months. And understaffing is the rule, not the exception with adoption agencies . And yes, placements and available children in local adoption seem to be unusually slow, I have only heard of 1-2 placements this year. Of course there may be more, but not everybody shares this beautiful event in various forums . Good luck! Cheers Flossyinoz

Yes the wait was definitely worth it in our case, my big boy will turn 4 in July! And yes we are still waiting for a possible no 2, but as I said not many kids around and lots of applicants. Also our application is probably a lot narrower than most as a future child would need fit into the existing family dynamics, we are not a blank slate family anymore
