Adoption Status Update

This past month the China Center of Adoption Affairs matched babies with families whose applications were received up to and including January 12, 2006. On those 3 days (January 10, 11, and 12), apparently a "large-ish" number of applications had been received. Yes, folks, we are still looking at another 1.5 to 2 year wait for our referral.

Update on China Adoption Program (Adoptive Families Magazine)

"In recent high-level conversations, representatives of the China Center of Adoption Affairs assured U.S. adoption agency representatives that its adoption program would continue in future years, albeit at the slower pace than recent years due to a decrease in numbers of children available for adoption. Although adoption travel permissions may be halted in August due to Olympic Games congestion, officials denied that the adoption program would close either temporarily or permanently as a result of the Olympics."
