My INS approval will probally take 3 months to get once I submit my homestudy because I will be useing the Atlanta office. I know that their has been a lot of talk about changes in the China progrem but I am praying everyday that nothing to drastic changes between now and the time I can submit a dossier. I am married, healthy, own a home, have a high income, and plan to be a stay at home mom. I am trying to talk my husband into requesting twins but he says no. I think I would have a good chance of receiving twins because I was a twin and have a family history of tiwns in my family. I look forward to hearing from everyone.

Waiting to be 30  |
We were in the same situation. We deicded to adopt back in Aug 2004, and my DH was still 28 then. He turned 30 on 10/5/05, and we sent in our app to our agency on 2/14/05, so about 7 and 3/4 months ahead of his birthdate. As you can see from my signature, the paper chase/home study/waiting for I-171H (that was the longest wait - 2 months, which set us back about a month from where we had hoped to be) took almost 9 months. So yes, I think May would be fine, but you may even want to send it in around March if they let you.
Good luck!!
