ASIA puts hold on new applications

I just happened to be looking at ASIA's (our agency) website today, and noticed that they have the following notice up on their Taiwan page:

"NOTICE: It appears that the wait for healthy Taiwanese infants is growing longer and it is difficult to predict how it will change over the next months. The situation is very fluid and could slow down further or speed up, depending upon a number of circumstances. Effective August 3, 2008, ASIA has put a temporary hold to accept further applications for the Taiwan newborn to two year old program. This is due to an increasing list of families in line to submit their home studies to Taiwan. This does not impact families already in process. If you are interested in applying, I recommend you check in with the office on a regular basis to see when we will reopen this particular program. We will also post a notice on our website when we reopen. If you want to be notified by email, please email tonif@asiadopt.org . As of August 11th, the following Taiwan programs are still accepting applicants:Children 2-5 years old with minor special needs, Healthy children 5 years and older, Waiting Children of any age "


Interesting, no? Looks like we got in line just in time.......
