We haven't had any experience with switching but just wanted to chime in about the new changes.
From what our agency has told us they do have a waiting list set up well into 2008 for referrals going to Korea. They are really unsure as to how this new change will affect wait times to apply and referral times. It is all up in the air. But they have gotten word from SWS in Korea about how many referrals they can expect to be given per year (at least for next year). We were lucky enough to get our application in JUST as our agency stopped sending referrals. They are to begin again I guess this month. Because we got our application in before the halt we are slated to send our homestudy in and hopefully get a referral in 2007.
It is all so confusing and the wait is hard but I have faith that we will all get our children when we are meant to!
