6 months Old already
Paige is 6 months old today. I have to tell ya I didnt think that she would still be in Taiwan on her 6 mnth birthday. She was only 2 weeks at referral. How can this be? We are frustrated, angry, sad... There is nothing we can do. We have asked to switch judges, we have talked to our agency about all different senarios. It comes down to one thing. THE JUDGE. I was told that some of the judges there don't think adoption is a priorty and if they have other cases then oh well....your adoption case goes to the bottom. So we wait. I know she looks happy and hope that when we finally do get to go get her that it won't be too difficult for her to leave her foster parents. I wish that I knew someone who worked in the courts in Taichung so that I could get more information. This is the most frustrating of all that we don't get any information.

Hi Lisa. I'm so sorry this wait is so hard. :-( I wish Paige could come home soon!!!
I will tell you though, I was worried that Annabella would have attachment issues being 9 months old when I picked her up...but she didn't. I could tell she loved her foster mom but she really adjusted well to me so quickly. I hope Paige is home before 9 months though!! I'm sure she will be. That slooooowwww judge is the pits! It's so unfortunate that nothing can be done for you. I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Hang in there my friend. I'm thinking of you.
Oh Lisa,
I'm so sorry.....I hope & pray you receive word of court movement soon.For me, I found the final part of the wait agonizing and in this situation with so little information forthcoming its even more frustrating & heartbreaking.
You are in my thoughts....
HUGS!!
Happy 6 month birthday Paige!! Oh come on already Mr. Judge!!! I wish that I could say something to make you feel better, but know that no words can....it just stinks to be waiting so long! You just HAVE TO believe she'll come home when she's meant to--it's the only thing that'll get you through!
Lisa...I totally understand. This is a very long draining process. She is still so young, and I'm sure will adjust to you quickly. I'm in the same situation but my baby is almost 4 years old. We met her six months ago and she is so aware of us. I am so worried that one day she will be angry for making her wait. COME ON COURTS, for all of us!
Oh, I just wish there was something I could do. . . it will all happen when it's supposed to happen, but that doesn't make it any easier. Soon~
I really hope you hear something soon, this court process makes me sick to think of. I don't think the slow judges who don't think it is a priority should be allowed to have adoption cases, they are clearly not thinking about the best interest of the child. Hang in there, you are almost there, I am thinking of you!!
Happy 6 months Paige! Lisa, I hope you get good news soon. I wish there was some way to push things along. Do you know what county your case is being processed in? We are waiting for our hearing to be scheduled and I am trying to see if anyone else is in the same county. If you could e-mail me that would be great.
