Well, we sent in our application for Taiwan last Thursday. On Tuesday we received a call from the agency and we were told they would be happy to move forward on a Taiwan adoption with us, if we were prepared for the fact that the wait times have increased quite a bit. Closer to 3 years now to wait for a referral. Well that is a looong time to wait when you have a little sweetie in mind. However In light of all my research, and finding that the wait times for most of the countries we were considering increasing, (3 years for Colombia, closer to 4 years for China) we decided to go ahead and move forward with Taiwan. So, here we are taking our first steps again in the process and looking forward to moving ahead! We have friends from work, a couple who are in the process of a Nepal adoption with the same agency, who have great things to say about working with this agency, so that was a positive for us! These friends have completed their home study and dossier and have sent it off to Nepal. Please pray for their quick referral! (by the way, we would have loved to adopt from Nepal as well, but you cannot adopt from there if you already have children of both genders. Yes, crazy but true. So many children waiting for homes and then there are strange qualifications like that) Please pray for our process to move along and I will keep you posted on our progress!
