What adoption? Who is your family is adopted?? Wellllll, we are on the shelf waiting and waiting and waiting....... Our dossier has been complete and in China since June 30, 2006. We had been trying and trying, hoping and hoping to expand our family to no avail. Our family unfortunately experienced a miscarriage in Oct 2004 at 9 weeks into the pregnancy. I had already shared with Gage, which made it even more difficult when we lost the baby. After another yr and a half of hoping, we decided to adopt. I did a BUNCH of research. Spoke to several agencies, interviewed with a few. We initially looked into adopting in our home state and also in the US. We finally started the process. The home study was delayed a little as we sadly experienced the passing of Jarrett's mother. It took forever to get the paperwork complete. It MUST BE PERFECT, every single piece. So much to look over review, send, mail FED EX knew us well, and we certainly supported them quite a bit. Passports, paragraphs to write, asking family and close friends for special references and on and on. IT was all worth it to us to be able to bring home a precious little girl. We had a name, room, clothes ready for her. Ready for the long wait, THEN something else completely unexpected happened.
Tidbit: We are still on the shelf in China, 2 yrs and 7 months, waiting.
