It was the best thing we've ever done and we're thinking about doing it again. (yikes!) I would love to follow your journey...good luck!

We've said no to a child...I find it hard, too. We've said no to a child only once - our first referral, which came way too early - and it was so hard. I cried and cried.<br /><br />Yes, the wait time is so short because the children are special needs. And because, by definition, Waiting Children are already available for adoption, so we don't have to wait for other families to be matched with their children before we jump in and get matched with ours.<br /><br />The downsides, of course, are: older children, more serious special needs. But that's our niche.AwesomeCloud and familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627262861489434592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345272433215686.post-64200681196225257052010-06-14T17:11:45.030-04:002010-06-14T17:11:45.030-04:00Wow!

Totally unbelievable reading... a different side to the whole adoption story from China that I read about on many blogs... is it just because you were adopting a boy?? or a boy with special needs?? Amazing reading... <br /><br />I would find your position hard... as a childless woman... I'd want all the kids that they said to me here you can be this child's mother!! But on the other hand, if we do adopt, I think I would want time with one child before looking at any others... but then again.... <br /><br /><br />xxxxxKelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471210246088431783noreply@blogger.com
