Ours is going through DSDW so were waiting endlessly. 27 months as of now (the whole process started in June 2005 so we're getting really tired of it).<br /><br />We haven't been matched with a child yet - which in one way makes it easier, in another wy harder. Just keep believing that one day we will meet our children - but wishing it would be NOW or really really soon, but also for us it seems that 2010 is the realistic goal =(<br /><br />We'll just have to hang in there!<br /><br />SannaSannaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00686264483117652924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-57512825972581093602009-10-27T22:33:54.054-04:002009-10-27T22:33:54.054-04:00Praying for you all!

Because of this delay, remember to check expiration dates so that you don't end up with more frustrations later: home study, criminal check, child abuse, etc. (The Philly INS lost our papers and during that process, our clearnances expired so that when they found the papers, we had to scramble to reapply!!)blackbelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682743823175329828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-2655288296002207542009-10-23T05:07:05.845-04:002009-10-23T05:07:05.845-04:00I will light a candle for you and little Button!

Red tape is what keeps us from our children. I hope something changes and you are able to get your son earlier. If not, as terrible as this sounds(because it is in no way a consolation)2010 is just around the corner.

The Thai authorities do things in their own time and there is little anyone can do to change that. We have similiar issues with the files sent from Australia (there is not a snowflakes chance that our government dept's will push for the older files {there are still 2006 files not matched} to be worked on sooner for fear of upsetting the Thai process or being seen to upset it) and the frustration is so intense some days you just want to scream. <br /><br />Hang in there. Button is waiting quite happily and he is being well looked after and loved in the carers own way. You WILL be with him in 2010. We're hoping to be with our son or daughter in 2010 as well so it will be a good year for us all!Kerrie (and Jason)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08262360562762627846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-36865403364025834232009-10-22T16:00:10.063-04:002009-10-22T16:00:10.063-04:00I'm so sorry.
