Comments on: Interim Adoptions http://chinaadopttalk.com/2007/10/14/interim-adoptions/ Join the Rumor Queen as she looks for the latest rumors and then analyzes them, trying to figure out what the CCAA will do next.

The only way they reach CCAA is if additional information is requested by the officials handling the China adoption. When I inquired with my agency about an interim adoption, they were fine with it as long as it was a different agency than them and there was 12 months between placements which is in the best interest of all parties. I think if anything the international programs would try and prevent multiple adoptions close together which might increase the change of disruption (sound familiar?) of the second (or third) adoption. Unless someone is adopting twins I see no problem with this if it is fact the concern. This makes no sense..Homestudy updates do no go to CCAA, they go to the US consultate in China.

This makes me think that there is something to it.

What will the CCAA do with an update to a file informing them of a new biological child to a family.

First of all, this is the first post of by the person this year. (Sorry didn't have time to check 2006) And if this person was trying to alert Parents with China LIDs why not post on APC or Chinaadopttalk????? Our agency told us to ignore the post.

Just curious. My husband and I miscarried during the wait (a long time ago) and I was wondering if that would have affected our status.

We were LID only 6 days after after DTC back in June 06. Others from our agency who were DTC a week after us, waited three weeks for an LID. This seems to be the case throughout recent history. Some wait, some don't. I have now been a part of the China adoption community for two years and I have seen no rhyme or reason to DTC to LID time frames.

In general LIDs have been coming quicker since the May 1st new rules as there are less dossiers flowing in. In general I have seen LIDs usually from 3-5 days from the date received at the CCAA. That being said we expected a similar time frame but instead experienced a 17 day DTC to LID timeframe in July 07. I know of several agencies that sent dossiers in late July and August 2007 and it didn't matter when the dossier was sent they were all logged in September. At least one agency was told it was a computer problem in August which doesn't hold a lot of water when there were agencies getting a 3-5 day LIDs in August. One person experienced a 37 day timeframe (DTC in July, LID in September). The CCAA didn't even try to make it fair and log them in around the time they were received. They just lumped them all into one date in September. If you ask me the CCAA is playing by their own rules, they change weekly and they definitely have some sort of favoritism within agencies.

They want us to understand the very real risk that if you play with fire-your probably gonna get burned! I was thrilled that it was even an option after being with them for 2 years-and they were VERY strict on no concurrents. But then after reasearching-most agencies/countries say there is a risk to there adoptions too if you try to do a second while in process. It just looked much to risky-even with another 1-3 year wait for us!! And now this pops up, showing just how risky it is!

The agency said that the CCAA goes off your original dossier...the updates are for your agency...and if your agency feels that changes will affect the adoption in a way that might not be good for the child....then they will notify the CCAA...if they feel that the changes are good and will not affect the child or the adoption then they simply update your papers for "the record". They support our concurrent adoption and we are using a whole different agency to do it...they are happy for us and think that it is going to be a positive for the child in China as well as the child from Taiwan. As for other agencies saying no concurrent adoptions...I have no idea...and as for an official statement from the CCAA...I won't hold my breath. Could the rug get pulled out from under us with the China adoption...yes....but I trust my agency as well as the new one we are working with....and we are moving forward. ~Linda I too talked in great length with my agency about doing a concurrent adoption.
