Being Matched - 6 Months After Getting Approved

So being matched is taking longer than I expected. Even though they told me the age range
(3-6) would take longer than if I went older I guess I didn't really realize how much longer. One thing I've learned is that all the counties in the state are not linked so while you think they should be the reality is you are being matched on what's available in your county only. So I reached out to surrounding counties and sent my information out to them as well. I also looked into international adoption for several countries and found it's so expensive and some countries require you to be there for 30 days at a time and that's not really an option so I'm not going that route right now. Basically patience is the key piece here and I'm just going to rely on fate and God to match me when it's the right time.
