Our case manager just called, and we moved up on the waiting list! The good news did come with some other news, not bad, but just news. We found out that the government of Taiwan is enacting a law that has a waitlist registry for babies. June of 2012 this will go into effect and make it so that a baby has to wait 45 days before it can be adopted internationally.
The goal of theirs is to promote domestic adoptions, which is great for the baby. We appreciate the fact that their government is truely realizing the need for these babies to be saved instead of aborted as was previously culturally common.
We still feel that changing a cultural norm for a whole country won't happen soon enough to effect us THAT much, so we are still keeping positive and hoping for the best.
