Are these rule changes set in stone or are they still just rumor? Is it possible that these are the changes that they are considering rather than what has actually been decided upon? I would hate for someone just studying the China program to be scared off by rumors here.
From everything I've studied, China seems to have the most stable program widely available to US adoptive families. Although incredibly frustrating to those affected, I don't get the impression that China makes decisions and/or changes to cause further detriment to the kids.
Many resources are strained when the number of adoptions increase, including consulate staffing, guides, etc. I'm sure there are countless reasons why it's not so easy to just make kids paper ready and/or make SWI's open to international adoption.
There are some countries that IMHO don't have the most trustworthy programs, so I am personally glad that, regardless of the wait, my child will be waiting for me when I get there.
If everything stated is really set in stone, then we can only hope that once waits settle down, there will be some flexibility with some of the health related rules. I have a non-life threatening seizure disorder that is controlled by medication, but it's hard to say how non-medical professionals from another country will see it...Some people with high BMI numbers are much healthier than skinny people... I could go on all day why it's not all black and white.
