I didn't know it had gotten so long, everywhere. I was hit hard by China's restrictions. At the time I wasn't sure if two was right for our family, then the choice was taken from me. I had assumed if I adopted again, it would be with China. <BR/>Hang in there guys! Imagine a BIG hug from Liana and me coming your way!

I am so sad that Molly may be an only child. It is so frustrating though, why does it have to be so hard? I thought though that you were all logged into vietnam?Mother of 2 Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785205987485672374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31029552.post-6452153176899298982008-01-29T22:43:00.000-05:002008-01-29T22:43:00.000-05:00I will need a stiff drink by April!!

If the MOU is not renewed then our year and a half wait is for nothing and I am sure no $$ will come back to go elsewhere...I really don't know what to do at this point. I have looked into Taiwan, Korea and the Phillipines so far (obviously we want an Asian sister for Annslee LOL) and they are just as long and possibly unstable...grrrrrrrrLaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683776702937016130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31029552.post-67944845204917645532008-01-29T21:54:00.000-05:002008-01-29T21:54:00.000-05:00Okay Michelle and I won't stop your rant, we will ...Okay Michelle and I won't stop your rant, we will join right in with you... we hear your frustration and share your exasperation. <BR/><BR/>We have been watching emails back and forth and now the MOU may not be renewed for Vietnam which complicates things as well. I recall challenges with JiaLi and being impatient for the day to come but the waits now are nearly intolerable and seem insurmountable. There are in general so many children in this world that need a family. Why is it so hard to adopt??? UGH is right we second that sentiment! We are trying to be patient we will all have a good group session in April!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08602053437188227766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31029552.post-31709958285173617732008-01-29T13:41:00.000-05:002008-01-29T13:41:00.000-05:00I hear ya, sister!

And all I want is a sibling for Josie! <BR/><BR/>And it gets worse... the long wait times are causing a huge amount of stress within the adoption community - I've been called selfish for wanting a sibling for Josie! I was told I should NOT adopt again and allow those without children the chance to adopt first. UGH.Saint Louis Family Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225719809549149712noreply@blogger.com
