OK, so we have reached a new frustration level....China's latest data is that they only processed 4 days worth of referrals in the past month. (Referral=Baby) Believe it or not, China only processed 4 months worth of referrals in the past year. At that rate, we would be receiving our referral in 2010.
Our options are:
1. Change countries, which means the wait time begins from scratch!
2. Go domestic, which means we have to do pretty much everything all over, including all of the agency fees $$$$$.
3. Apply for the "Waiting Child Program" through our current agency- actually we applied for this about a week ago. These children are "special needs", but the severity is a very wide spectrum. The "special need" could be something as simple as a birthmark! We filled out a very detailed medical form of what we would accept or not accept. There are about 200 people in this program, and it can run simultaneously with our current referral. We listed about 8 countries that we would adopt from.
4. Continue the weekly acupuncture & herbs...I truly enjoy the wonderment of it all, but the taste of the herbs is YUCKY!!
5. Go back to Shady Grove and pursue IUI or IVF
6. And of course, wait, wait and wait for a baby girl from China in 2010....that's not a joke, it's really looking like it could be 2010!
I think we are going to go with options 3, 4 & 6.....although at this point, option 3 could be the most promising :)

Dear Heavenly Father, May your will be made clear as to the next step you would have Randy and Mara take. May you give them the strength they need and may they know that you can make what seems impossible, possible. Amen
We love you and are praying!!!
Some of my favorite people range from one end of the special needs spectrum to the other! Whom ever God sends your way will be blessed by having you two as parents.
