We R adopting special needs girl from China. Know how long avg wait time is from referral acceptance 2 travel
|
I was originally told 7-9 wks from our adoption agency. Now there's apparently a new step, the Referral Acceptance, that can take 2-5 months before you get a travel approval. I'm just wondering if anyone has an idea as to how long the average wait time has been...

I am a mother through international adoption (not China). I know China's wait times are growing exponentially, even for special needs, but I don't know the details of how the process has changed. There are all kinds of online groups and resourses for those adopting from China, though. When you have China specific procedure questions, those would be better places to ask than Yahoo answers. Your agency should have information, too. Good Luck to you.
eta. BTW - it's perfectly normal and okay to want to be informed about wait times. I know from experince how hard it is to know your child is half a world away needing medical care, good nutrition, comfort, etc. and there is nothing you can do. Just take some of the comments here w/ a grain of salt. |

My aunt just went through all of this poo. She was originally told 30-60 days. Well, 3 months later she was told 6-9 more months. After that time had passed, they were told another year. Then they were told "Oh, China is out of babies right now." ?!?!?!? After 3 years, they finally got their baby! 3 Years!!!! So much for a few months, huh? Send Angelina Jolie over, she'll get ya one in a heartbeat.
(I know. That comment was wrong. It just makes me mad that desperate families are put through so much for a child, and a movie star can get one just like that.) |

First, what was the motive in going to China and getting a special needs child. What exactly is the special needs: Limited disability, crippled, mentally unstable, blind?.......etc. All that will be taken into consideration. If you cannot commit, it is best to leave the child along. "Commitment," "Commitment." I say again, "Commitment." |
