The Rumors....

One thing about China adoption is that there are rumors. I'm not too sure if other international countries have the rumors that China does. China operates a little differently than other countries -- it is looked upon as the model.

On the right side of this blog is a rumor board link created by the Rumor Queen. Who is the Rumor Queen -- she is a another mom adopting from China -- she has a late september 2005 lid. She seems to have resources that give her leads on the newest rumors. Spain seems to get the rumors first. The site is very addicting. However, you have to keep in mind that these are rumors. Just last night we went from the the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) was closing down for 3 weeks due to a move, to now stating yes they are moving but no they are not closing down. Who to believe, What to believe, Who Knows What --that are the questions we all want to answered. It is hard not to get caught up in the whirlwind of rumors.

I have been looking at the next few months of referrerals to see possiblity of a trend when we might get a referral -- even though we are still a year or so away from this happening. The thing is if they only refer a couple of weeks at a time, that means our referral is not year or so away but more like 2 or yikes 3 years away. That is particularly heartbreaking. I cannot believe it will take that long. Our agency states 14-18 months from start to finish....so that is what I'm believeing.

Now if our USCIS would just get our I171 here.
