To answer you, yes adoption does take a long time...for the couple, before the baby is born.
My husband and I are in the middle of the approval process right now. We started in October and will probably be done in March. We had to have interviews, a home evaluation, provide proof of health insurance, proof of financial stability, doctors appointments and get five reference letters. We also had to meet with a social worker several times. Once our background check comes back clear we will be approved and we wait to be picked by a birthmom. That could be one day or years. Once she picks us and the baby is born most states allow the adoptive couples to take the baby home from the hospital.
i was looking up stuff about teen mom, yes i watch teen mom and i am not ashamed to admit it! i love it, and i really love Caityln and Tyler. so im just reading this process about hard it is to adopt a child. it is just crazy that because of something that for the most part is wrong with your body, you arent able to have your own child and now you have to ask your friends for nice letters about how you should be a mom... that is just so sad.
i think that caitlyn is the strongest girl on the show, and stronger then me.
