While we were updating our home study for the SECOND time, which brought along, you guessed it, fingerprints and Immigration paperwork, we started some real soul searching. This would have been approximately November/December 2009. At this point in the game, we were looking at yet ANOTHER 4 years for a "healthy" referral.
Now, backing up the trolley a bit, our whole journey has been about our waiting daughter. Girls are the majority when it comes to adopting from China. We also were thrown off by the Special Needs, the Waiting Children, in China. We knew we would not be a good match for a poor child w/severe mental or physical disabilities and those were the children we thought were in the program. Then we come to find out that it does encompass those children, but also as slight as cleft lip, or an ear deformity. So after much reflection and prayer we decided to pursue an adoption through the Waiting Children program.
