For those of you who are following our blog for updates, I thought it would only be fair to let you know the latest. We are seven and half months into the "paper chasing" process and we continue to wait for Immigration (NBC) to give us our final approval so that our Dossier (China Application) can be sent to China. Our Dossier going to China is when our official "waiting" time would begin. Apparently, NBC has assigned our case to an Official and the review process started this past Thursday or Friday, but we have NO idea how long the review process will take.
Unfortunately, the wait time continues to increase, which means people are waiting longer and longer to get their child from China. Statements made by some waiting parents were told by their agencies that they could be waiting until the year 2010, or longer, and these waiting parents have been waiting since May 2006!
Dave and I are very discouraged by this and with the wait times increasing feel like we should look into other options that may give us the opportunity to add a child to our family sooner. We are afraid that if it is the only avenue we choose, we won't have the opportunity to become parents for years. We have a lot of money and emotions invested in this process so far, but at this point we do not know if we will pursue the China adoption.
