We'll do this again in January and see how things look. This is very unscientific, but these numbers show an attrition rate of 15.4 percent.

I don't know if that means China still "has" it or not. Either way, I have to redo my I-171H for China. I don't know what my state requires as far as spacing of adoptive children, but my home study agency wants them a year apart, my China agency wants them at least 6 months apart, my Vietnam agency wants them 6-12 months apart, and I want them a year apart! I assume such rules don't apply to people adopting two at once (from the same country). Heidi LID 2/28 On the topic of doing two countries at once: I had to transfer my I-171H from China to Vietnam.

Approximately 12 were on the 10th, which is my LID. Only one of those 12 that I know about have pursued SN and they have just gotten home about a week ago with their daughter. We are with a large mulit-country agency. I know of about 60 families that were LID in October for my agency. Approximately 12 were on the 10th, which is my LID.

We were DTC in Jan 2006, LID 2/13. We had 12 in our group, 2 I know of have gone the SN route. There are some who aren't on the yahoo group I'm sure, so probably the 10% attrition to SN is about right.

I considered using United, so the fare would be transferable should we get headed to China instead, but it was a lot cheaper on American... I guess the $800 if not used is still cheaper than a complete re-do on the I-171?? :) I have just done something SURE to bring on referrals: I booked our tickets to fly from California to Connecticut for Christmas at my sisters.

However, the SN program has become very popular and I do know that there are several families that have switched from NSN to SN.

You might want to check into the laws for your state. Our state requires a 6-month period between adoptions (6 months between when they are final). We just completed a domestic adoption (a surprise!), and we are a January LID for our China, but it definitely looks like the 6-month requirement won't be a problem!
