WOW..That is quite a wait. Pretty odd considering there is such an overabundance of female orphans.
I think we'd be looking more seriously into this about a year from now. Maybe some things will change and the process won't be as daunting.
The special needs route seems a nice way to go as well. Any idea what the plastic surgery for that condition runs and if there are any long term effects that might need to be taken into account?Comment

NP. I knew you were just bustin balls. Its all good.Yes it's very sad.. Sorry BP, wasn't trying to take a shot, just last night I watched an investigative reporting thing on the pollution in China, and how bad it really is. Mostly from mining plants apparently, and the government's antiquated ego where nothing matters to them but money. They're using that red water to irrigate their plants, then they eat the plants, get cancer, have growths all over them, it's nasty.
Good on you for doing all the necessary work to make this a reality. I have a 3 month old baby myself, and it's amazing!
Yep sad over there.
Lets talk sometime dude and catch up.

Congrats man !!! Do you get to see pictures of the baby before you get it or is it just like "you want a girl, here's a girl".
My wife and I thought about adopting another child. We have 3 right now, after the 3rd one, my wife got her tubes tied, then about a year ago, she was having problems with a low iron in her blood, so the doctor recommended a hysterectomy, so now there's no way we can have any more kids.
Sometimes we think it'd be for the best to not have any more, we have our 2 boys and 1 girl, but sometimes we see little ones and wish we could have another.Comment

it is very very cool of you and your wife to adopt a girl from China. I was reading something online about the problem there recently, and I was almost in tears. thank you for helping someone for life.Comment

There was a documentary on Australian TV a couple days ago about this. Not sure if it is showing in the US but you might be able to get it off a torrent as that's where I got it from...
Oh and congrats Boneprone very impressed. That Smiles show always gets to me too...I have friends that just adopted their second Chinese orphan and apart from the paperwork, would highly recommend it.
By one estimate about 70,000 children are kidnapped and sold on the black market in China each year.
Untold thousands of other people are tragically affected by the trade? this film features remarkable access to those at its core: desperate parents searching for a stolen son; a trafficker who brokers deals and who sold his own child; a young couple having to give away their newborn daughter; a private investigator who hunts for stolen children; a boy rescued from traffickers.
In modern China, baby girls can be sold for as little as $500. Boys cost $1000-plus. "China?s Stolen Children" intimately reveals the depth of this tragedy and explores the connection between child trafficking, an alarming shortage of girls and the country's stringent birth control policy. It's a link the Chinese Government rejects.
This documentary shows a side of China that authorities would rather keep hidden ? at any time, and especially in the long run-up to the Olympics. Its makers worked undercover, posing as tourists, constantly moving hotels and changing their telephone simcards.
"China's Stolen Children" recently won a Royal Television Society Award and won the best international current affairs documentary at the BAFTAs on Sunday 20 April. Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley, made for Channel 4 and HBO.Comment

Is it a more or less expensive process to adopt from China vs. the US? Did you look at other countries or just China?...Comment

A lot cheaper to adopt in the US.
For China its going to total us around 40k total from start to end. Not including the medical/surgery required for going the special needs route we chose to do.
Price wasnt the issue with us though. China is something we have always wanted to do.
As for the USA domestic adoption, it too is a great program.. But it does have some very disturbing laws attached to it that has been pushing away prospective adoptive parents.
In the US the biological mother has a lot more rights, even though she "gave up" her child she still has some rights and can even cause legal troubles if she all of a sudden "changes her mind" and wants the baby back. You see this happening all the time in the news. Whats worse courts supporting this behavior. As a result it has discouraged many many good families from adopting domestically.
No adoptive family wants to be looked at as the bad guy for taking away a child from the biological mother.
The domestic system needs to be fixed.
Domestic adoption is a great thing, but the horror stories have pushed some away.Last edited by boneprone; 04-25-2008, 08:34 AM.

I hear the CHinese kids are very talented over there. IF they arent in some orphanage, they are working in the Nike Factories.
