And it seems that someone has deleted all of the blog images as well. I mentioned that for everything that gets fixed, something else is broken, right? If I didn't have that rule about watching your language I'd be getting pretty colorful right about now. Yes, the poll is broken. And it seems that someone has deleted all of the blog images as well.

My husband and son received our little girl in Chengdu on March 18th. I can't tell you how many times I have thought about the fact that they could have very well been in China when the quake happened. We waited a very long time from LID to LOA, 190 days thankfully that was all it took. I do wonder about her foster family and how they are doing now. IansMom,

To know your child is there and to not be able to get there.... nothing anyone says is going to make it any better. Knowing on a logical level why they can't process things right now doesn't really help the emotional side very much. IansMom - my heart breaks for you.

I can see that maybe it was felt in an area that wide, but there was not damage in anywhere near that size of an area. Think the size of two medium sized states - that's more the damage zone... and the zone that needs rescue is even smaller than that. Melissa - California to Maine?

Our agency rep had checked on this the week after the earthquake and the civil affairs office said it would process them no problem. I know they need to help with the relief effort, but I'll be honest, this really sucks for us and the other families that are waiting on TA for our little ones in Sichuan. Selfish as that may sound, that's the way I feel. I also happen to feel like I may throw up, get me off this ride please!!!
