As many here have said, my agency told me 14-16 months; could get longer OR shorter, they said. What drives me crazy is that I have to come here to get a real picture of things. When I talk to my agency, they are so vague and overly optimistic, saying things like "we've seen this happen before in 2001." No you haven't -- but I only know that because I found this site! With a March 2007 LID, I like many of you, just keep hoping things might change. RQ-

I truly believe all of us who wait this out will be blessed with a child. I truly believe China wants the best for their children and recognizes the benefits of international adoption. I also believe the majority of parents who give up their child for adoption do so because of circumstances beyond their control, regardless of their culture and country. I read through these messages as I wait for our referral and still believe they are filled with hope and faith that everything is under control. Rumor Queen...bless you for caring and providing a venue for us to meet. Susan LID June 06 yviefaye,

For those older parents with no kids what about taking say an older child on from a WC list? Yeah you might have to switch agencies, and start paperwork again but it is a shame not to become a parent. Our country has very few intercountry programs hence lack of choice. Those of you in the States have MANY MANY MANY options we just don't have - check them out!! One agency WC list in States has a healthy 12 yo boy, no one is taking him up?? Now a couple age 55 would be perfect for him. Sure it is not the healthy baby girl dream that many of us have, but lets face reality, we want to get past this and move on with our lives... CCAA is not giving us info we can make reliable decisions on.. the sooner we can all get past this hold up the better for all of us!! If I had another viable option I would take it.

I have no doubt that EVERYONE is hoping for a pick up in the pace... but as RAYRDT said - only time will tell. Thanks for taking the time to source out this information and pass it on.

I don't think the issue is "if but more "when". How long are you willing to wait? Can you wait 3 years? Figure out your limits, set a time line, and a back up plan. Live your life and in a year if the outlook looks worse rather than better, decide if you will wait another year to see if things change or implement your up plan.

I am waiting for my I171 approval and so anticipate having my dossier sent by the end of the month. I am not sure what to do about this wait time. Should I tell my agency that I am hearing all these rumors and want to know what they know, since they don't tell us anything? Is it possible that we may actually never receive a referral? I really am at a loss as to what to do, if anything. Hi, this is my first time on this blog. I am waiting for my I171 approval and so anticipate having my dossier sent by the end of the month.

I've just had 3 chocolate chip cookies in the course of this morning alone! Funny comments aside (although all of it is true), I thank the last few comments! We too are worried about the time frame lengthening because of our age and the gap between our 5 year old daughter and her future sister. We had it all worked out in our minds, we very so looking forward to another car seat, the interaction between the two girls, oh! so much! I guess we all do...
