It would be very hard to look at them everyday and have a constant reminder it could be another year.<BR/>I really hope that something happens to speed up the process. <BR/>Hope your Veitnam moves along also.<BR/><BR/>SusanSusan, Matt, Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923929035531712229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20017291.post-75000571718269067322008-01-18T11:42:00.000-05:002008-01-18T11:42:00.000-05:00(which you've clearly done - congrats on your VN r...(which you've clearly done - congrats on your VN referral - hope you travel SOON!!)Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04966488931791705010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20017291.post-28555076772455525452008-01-18T11:39:00.000-05:002008-01-18T11:39:00.000-05:00If I was with a China-only agency right now, I wou...If I was with a China-only agency right now, I would be asking them: what is your business plan to stay solvent long enough for me to bring home my child??<BR/><BR/>I'd also be investigating switching to the SN program, or a concurrent adoption, embryo adoption, surrogacy, you name it. Becoming a mother in a timely manner is far more important (to me) than the process used to arrive there.<BR/><BR/>My heart goes out to all y'all caught in this terrible bind. For both my daughters from China, I was lucky enough to wait only 8 months from LID to Referral... and every month was agonizing, as things changed constantly, even then. I cannot IMAGINE what you are going thru.
