Can you PM me with who you are using? Is there any way your agency could change the lawyer on her adoption? Sometimes its hard for the pbirthmom to make the apointments because of working, living outside the city etc..could this be why FC is being slow? We were in the infamous slow FC and it took us 2 months to get out..then it took us 4 months for DNA, but that was because the Embassy wasn't issuing the authorizations d/t the Hague..

I know how hard it is to desperately want a young infant..I had induced lactation..gained 45 lbs..was pumping every 2 hours round the clock etc..and was supposed to go down and foster when she was 3 days old for the whole 4 months we were PROMISED by our agency her adoption would take..when the Hague hit we were so devestated..my dreams of a long nursing relationship were shattered..my dreams of fostering the whole time were gone..my dreams of having a newborn were gone..it is a huge loss..we tried for 9 years to have a 2nd child..and when we finally had a referral
(we had chosen Guatemala over China because the babies were a few months younger when home) and then to have to wait 5 months to get INTO FC was so hard..

I wonder if these problems are because of this particular attorney or what..is is possible to have her case transferred to another one? I know this isn't usually done..talk with your agency..if they truly feel her adoption will go on for another 10 months and you didn't want to parent a toddler age child..then I guess you could lose this referral and try again with a new lawyer etc..but like Holli said..what if the next babies adoption case has problems as well? Hopefully you will get some answers from your agency and feel free to PM me anytime..
