Today we officially moved up from spot #4 to spot #3 on ASIA's NSN infant waiting list! I'm not 100% sure what happened, but it does appear that one of the 3 families actually waiting for a referral in Taiwan (the list AFTER our list) dropped out, for whatever reason. I hope it is because they found their child elsewhere.
We are progressing much quicker than we had expected - unfortunately it is not because of referrals so far. In other words, we are progressing because other families are quitting, not because babies are coming home. There still hasn't been a referral since December 2007. So when people stop dropping out of line (which seems like it'd have to happen eventually), we will still likely have quite a wait to actually get a referral.
Also, for any family and friends who may be getting excited about our progress, please remember that even if we reach the top of our wait list, we can't submit our homestudy to Taiwan until our future bio baby is 6 months old. So we have quite a wait, no matter what :) That being said, it is still quite exciting. I would be thrilled if we made it to the top of our waiting list before bio baby is 6 months old - that would really speed up our projected process!

Hey Amber...
Just wanted to clarify my blog for you. :)
Our agency is using TWCA. When I say asking for referrals, I mean that Gladney has been functioning well as our agency since the closing of Commonwealth and are ready to proceed with new referrals. They haven't received any since Commonwealth took over, and are ready to move forward with the program. There's nothing unethical happening with it.
Good luck to you in your journey!

Hey. Just wanted to let you know that the reason you moved up at that time was because we found our child in China! Once we found her, we pulled our dossier from Taiwan. We were the 2/29 family.
