Well February is a pretty clear point of time. 6 business days left in February. But in all honestly the "it will be x, and then not" is a theme.

If a married couple adopted a child, and had a full and final adoption either overseas or in the U.S., separation or divorce after the finalization would not nullify the adoption. Whether a full and final adoption occurred overseas, as with a child adopted from China, or whether the child was...

Would you mind sharing your feedback on AIAA with me via PM?

Please don't wait too long, if you hope to adopt from Korea. The number of available, healthy babies or babies with minor special needs is at an all time low. While original predictions that Korea would close its program, except possibly for special needs adoptions, in 2012 were probably too...

They have to tell the agency. It's not like they won't figure it out--post-placement visits go on for several months after homecoming. People aren't stupid. I do know of someone who got pregnant and lost their referral. It's unfortunate, but it's very clear that Korea requires a year between...

Would appreciate feedback on Dillon Int'l and CHSFS for adoption waiting children from Korea. Please PM any feedback - both negative and positive appreciated. Trying to find agencies able to adopt Korean children in Georgia (they are few and far between). Thanks!

I believe it agency-specific. I even asked about getting a waiver and they wouldn't grant it. :( I was turned onto another agency that places in Georgia but with a previous divorce, we have to wait until Dec 2012 before we can file everything. And by the looks of the Korea program, that most...

We are also working on adopting a little "asian" girl :) I was born and raised in Taiwan (as a missionary kid), so we really wanted to adopt a child from Taiwan. My sister is also adopting a little girl from Taiwan. My sister and I feel as if we are mostly Taiwanese anyway, so we definitely look...

Hello, We've previously been approved to adopt in the US through CPS, but this route has not been very friendly toward military families, so we're at a point where we are considering other options. If all goes well, we plan to close our file with CPS and pursue a Korean adoption (which was the...

Does anyone know if a family who does successfully conceive while waiting for travel would be prevented by SWS from continuing with the adoption of the referred child as long as the age difference would be 19 plus months? Yes, I believe if the pregnancy was successful, you'd be required to stop the...

I think I "know" 1 family that got the 4 child requirement waived because they adopted DC with special needs, specifically limb deformities. 1 DS is missing a leg, I can't remember the other. How adoption affects siblings | Owlhaven In all of our paperwork we were required to disclose of a...
