We were told by our agency (large china only) that you could not adopt from china if you had ever been arrested. Since my husband had been when he was a teenager and it showed on his background check even though he was never convicted and a juvinile, we had to get it espounged. This caused my paperwork to get to china a couple of months later than it should have but our agency said we had to do it. I'm not sure if it is mentioned in our homestudy I will have to pull out the paperwork and check but I know he also had to write a letter saying how sorry he was and would never do it again. They made us do this for the I171-H. This is the first time I’ve posted but I thought I should tell you our situation.

I have just been watching up till now. I am very stressed out about this weight rumor that keeps popping up. I am with a BIG China only agency and have now talked to them 3 times about this. Each time I am told we have no problem, this is not a rule and we will be ok. So I am trying hard not to stress about it. But my new question is I keep seeing people say they are going to be tougher on finances? And if your networth is too close they will turn you down. What does that mean. Do you mean you just have to have the $30,000 if you are a family of 3? Or is there an actual networth that China goes by? Ok this is my first post. I have just been watching up till now.

I picked a flower- don't ask-but it was in our first HS for our first adoption. It was in this one as well. We are LID 6/30. I e mailed my agency and said I was freaking out about this. I was told we have been through the review room, there was nothing said about it and I shouldn't worry. If you have 8 days left, I don't think you should worry either. BTW our first daughter is from Kunming and it is known as the City of Eternal Spring, so I thought that was funny. I was arrested in college and the charges were dropped.

I was just wondering and well, playing with numbers and speculations. ;) thanks RQ! that does make a bit more sense…and we’re for things they do that are Good and Positive to help pick up the pace.

They line up agency bundles on one side and orphanage bundles on another. They say, this agency has 9 families and this orphanage has 9 babies so put them together. And this agency has 17 families and these two orphanages that are close to each other have a combined 14 babies and this other agency has three families so they all go together. And then once they have done that then they sit down and match individual familes and babies. And once that is all done then they stick them all in boxes that go to the agencies and ship them off. Supposedly right now the hold up is the number of baby dossiers that are coming in. In the past I think they just worked for about a month and then sent what the had. But now that they are apparently sitting around waiting on paperwork to come in, it might actually make sense to put batches together as they can and then ship them out as they get done. I dont' know, I'm just guessing... but if that's the case then it makes sense. And if that is the case then having them send them out more often is a GOOD thing. As for the number of US adoptions - at one point apparently the U.S. accounted for more than 90% of all adoptions from China. Not sure what that might be now.

Seriously though, as someone else posted...rumours are rumours and speculations are just speculations. There are some that lean towards the very believable, but all in all we need to relax and not let alot of this get to us (even though it's difficult sometimes). only other thing I want to add is that while I think it would be great to see another referral group in the next couple of weeks, my question would be is...and maybe RQ can help with this...why send out a referral batch roughly mid-month? if they get to a certain point, couldn't they just keep on workin' and send out one larger group at the end of the month? oh and I posted on another thread asking if anyone knew what percentage (annually, i would presume) of the China adoptions go to the States typically? *bows*

We most definite need RQ, but you sure add a dash of much needed humor in our day. I say we will see another batch of referrals the first part of June. Oscar, I did not dream that, it is my opinion with all that I have read. Just my opinion. lid-8-8 tgred, you are a absolute HOOT !!

I guess I just wondered if the person had expanded on this subject more to get a feel for why Diazepam was used regularly. Keep up the great job! Thanks RQ.
