However wondering if any of the rumors center around number of children in family? We currently have four and one that lives out of state with his Mom. Would the recent interesting information post mean this may not be an issue either? Also any info. on age limit if one is well with in age range and one is 46? Any insight would be appreciated. Hi ,

Also any info. on age limit if one

Many agencies have said that no one gets denied that doesn't know ahead of time that there might be a problem. If your agency hasn't let you know this could be an issue then you really should be okay. As I said, someone has just made it through the review room, so this tells me that this alone will probably not cause a problem. We don't know all of the details of the person who was denied - maybe they had other health issues as well and all of them combined caused a problem. Really, trust your agency. It's their job to know what might cause a problem, and if they say you are okay then you should be okay. snowmonkey – if your agency says you are okay then you should trust them.

I'm wondering if we also should get a letter from my cardiologist, however (our agency didn't raise this idea, but why trust them completely?).

I knew about the Hunan scandal, but not much more than it was a scandal. Knowing what I know now, the slow down in referrals actually makes a lot of sense and it does seem like there is a small glimmer of hope for things to pick up a little.

We are currently waiting for referral and we are thru review. There is the slightest chance that something could happen when it comes time, but I am certain all is well for us.. I hope that eases your mind a bit. zgirl1-

But maybe the CCAA does. DH had his when he was 24--he was born with a congential heart defect (leaky valve). He's fine now. I wonder if the CCAA discerns between the different health conditions that lead to valve replacement surgeries. (Congenital versus age/illness related valve issues, for instance).

The April meeting was in part to tell them that if they follow the guidelines and make sure that everything is in order that they cannot be put on trial if something comes up that is questionable. Only if the guidelines are not followed or if there is evidence that they were part of a coverup could they get in trouble. So, I believe that some orphanages were not making any babies paper ready for several months. Did they all start to suddenly place finding ads in April? Maybe, maybe not.

Or were those babies matched under the old regulations? Is it possible they are now being close to being paper ready "again", with the possibility of double the amount of paper ready babies for next month? Possibly just trying to convince myself there has to be a big batch soon!!

I do not know if that has changed since then.

The babies aren't necessarily going to be young, it's just that if the finding ads were placed in April then they can be referred in October. flowerpower – its six months from when the finding ad is placed.
