The story is making the rounds of the various China Adoption discussion groups that the waiting time for a referral is getting longer. Recently, the wait was as short as 6 to 7 months, now some are saying it could soon be as long as 10 months to get a referral, back to what it was a couple of years ago.
There's a lot of speculation, but little hard information as to the possible reason for this. One idea that comes to mind is that the interest in adopting from China is still growing, and that the increased workload is slowing things down. Or, they may be spending more time on each case, making sure that all the paperwork is correct so that no last minute surprises happen. What ever the reason may be, the results will still be worth the wait.
And, maybe if we have to wait a few months later it might have it's benefits, we'll have some more time to finish Miaya's room the way we'd really like to have it.
We've sent off that last piece of paperwork that needs to be certified and authenticated, and now just a couple of minor details remain. THE PAPER CHASE IS ALMOST OVER!
