After one false start, we adopted within one year. We were very fortunate, the process was very easy, total cost about $7K. (the birth mom was on medicaid). Could you perhaps switch from the agency, to a successful adoption attorney instead? That was 23 years ago, so maybe things have changed in the adoption world since then.
