tandb,
I called CCAA. I am told that we can't select the orphan. they assign for us. They do this to prevent child-buying. This means we have to decide to accept the assignemnt or not before we have the chance to see the child. I am from China and have chance to see the orphans in my hometown. But CCAA will not assign us the pre-identified infant. Without CCAA's permission, you can't do the international adoption from China.
I know you mean if you hoop up a doctor in China, you may be able to idenfy a new-born faster. But you can't get the pre-identfied infant even you do the adoption via angcy.
I considered adopting as chinese so that I can see the child before adoption and can have a daughter earlier. It seems I have to give up the idea due to the immigration risk and the anxiety I will have before we bring my baby here. As long as we can view the assignement of CCAA as the task from God and all kids are lovable, we will have peace mind. I will use the next 2 year kid-free life to improve my health and to learn the somthing for child-caring so that I will be a better mother.
Good luck in your adoption, As chinese myself, I respect and thank all the good heart americans who will be or are the adoptive parents of chinese orphans. I realy hope chinese people will be educated as us so that girls will be viewed as same important as boys.
