18 months is nothing. Our adoption took almost exactly 4 years.
(However, as noted above, ours was an international adoption from a country that does not accredit any adoption services agents in the U.S. We were constantly doing battle with TWO bureaucracies, one in each country, neither of which would communicate anything directly to the other ... even though the Hague convention specifically required them to do so ... which left us continually having to chase down documentation from Country 'A' and send it over to the applicable department or bureaucrat in Country 'B.' And then remind Bureaucrat 'B' what he/she was supposed to DO with said documentation.)
