Third meeting with Social Worker!

So today we had our third meeting with our social worker. It was actually pretty fun - we spent a lot of time looking at and talking about kids books that focus on adoption. This was our last visit at Nancy's house -the next (and final!) visit will be in our house. We are a bit nervous (and are cleaning every chance we get!) but Nancy has made us feel very comfortable, so I'm not too anxious.
I am anxious, however, about the overall status of healthy infant Taiwan adoption from Chung Yi (and other orphanages, too, I suppose). Rumors are flying that Taiwan will no longer send healthy infants to the US - that they are either keeping them for domestic adoption or they are sending them all to Sweden. It would seem that someone from ASIA is actually going to Taiwan this week to find out what is going on (hopefully). So we are crossing our fingers that everything will work out all right. We are researching other options, but we are really hoping everything will work out with ASIA and Chung Yi (for many reasons, one of which being the money we have already paid them and which we would likely lose forever if we had to walk away to apply elsewhere). So cross your fingers for us...and let me know if anyone hears more info on the subject! Thanks!

Keep your hope up... I know it's hard. Really, the rumors are all about Chung Yi, not Taiwan in general, so that is good news.
