There ought to be a facility where they can commit parents waiting to complete an international adoption. I'd be their first patient. The waiting and not knowing for sure when we are going to travel is enough to push someone already close to the edge right off the cliff. Today our agency told us that the Chinese adoption officials (CCAA) confirmed there was no "problem" with our travel authorization, but they have not "processed" it yet. We won't know for several days when CCAA will even be getting around to processing it, which means we're probably still two weeks from receiving it. Torture.
We are taking comfort in the fact that it doesn't appear we are being singled out. A survey of the various internet message boards reveals that TAs have not been issued to anyone in quite some time. We have no idea what the hold up could be. I hope it's something as simple as a staff member out with the flu, and not indication of something more serious, like a diplomatic crisis.
We are currently aiming to travel the week of April 19. To do that, we will likely have to receive our TA by April 5. We can only hope at this point...

Waiting stinks. It took us 6 months from our referral to travel, so don't worry. Times seem to vary (ours was long even for our time.) You guys still seem to be on a quick track, and this is the good time of year -- no fall festivals to get in the way. I know it's torture, when he's growing up and you're not there to see it, but there will be so many things to enjoy. Hang in there. Violet
