The baby shower or "sprinkling" that my dear friends hosted for me did wonders for my spirit. To top it off our friends Michelle & David passed court for their son on Friday. They will hopefully have him home early 2010.
And while for the time being my spirit is lifted I still struggle. CHSFS announced that wait times have went up again (surprise surprise). They are now quoting 18-24 months. This is a far cry from the original 5-9 months we were told we would wait for referral. In addition to the longer referral times travel after court has increased. A few months ago policies changed and each agency was allowed 10 embassy appointments every two weeks. For a small agency that is fine. But CHSFS recently had 33 cases pass court in one week. At this rate it could easily be 3-6 months after court to bring home our child. Will we seriously wait another year to bring home our child?
CHSFS stopped taking applications for new clients who wish to adopt a child under 2 years old. They said that 90% of clients want children under 2 but only 33% of children in their care fit that criteria.
