Howerver there seems to be a slow down in the SN program as well since so many are switching or doing both. We are doing the SN, NSN program simultaneoulsy.

Many people start down the path of adoption and don't even know the SN program is out there. The wait gives some people time to understand all the options.

We were LID 10/05 for NSN and switched to SN completed our adoption in 7/06 and are waiting on PA for another SN child. This go around we knew we were only going to go SN. Switching from NSN to SN

I had been under the impression that it only included NSN, but I could be completely wrong.

But this kind of attrition is not really shortening the wait for the NSN people if there is a quota in place. It is rather getting longer since people switching for SN are getting ahead in the system. Or am I completely wrong here? I am all for people switching to SN and would have if I could have.

I do think there is a somewhat larger number of SN files coming in to them, at a somewhat more frequent timing - 20 files every 4 mos in the past to 25+ sometimes every 3 mos. Not a huge increase, but an increase. My agency, multi-country, medium, can request a new group of SN files once they have matched a large percentage of the last group they were sent.

I know several people recently who changed over to SN and have been logged in for almost a year. People in our agency can be in both programs simultaneously.

I can see lots of reasons why that would be discouraged.
