Big Change in the Rules

This post if for all of my adoption friends who may be out there still waiting to adopt a child from China. The CCAA just made a big change in their rules regarding the switching of agencies. You can now switch agencies even if your dossier is already logged in! This means that if you are interested in adopting from the Waiting Child Lists you are now able to get in any agency's line to do that. No reason to sit around and wait for your agency to get to you if they have a LONG line ahead of you waiting on a special needs child. Just switch to an agency who doesn't have a long line of families ahead of you :) Feel free to contact me for more specifics details if you need them. I am excited to finally see this change from China! It should really help get kids home faster and without the waiting game some agencies seem to play.

Dear Families:I just want to inform you that CCAA recently passed the policy to allow families switching agencies using their original dossiers logged in at CCAA. Families who decide to switch agencies need to ask for a letter from their original agency stating that the agency agrees to release the dossier to the new agency. Families who do not qualify under the new rule effective of May 1st 2007 and whose dossiers were logged in before May 1st of 2007 will be able to switch agencies and proceed with the adoption of special needs children.
