Is it possible that your husband could travel instead of both of you? If work related issues are the reason that he might not be able to travel, FMLA requires (if he is with a company that employs at least 50 people) employers to allow time off work - and in some states pay 6 weeks of unemployment- for baby bonding after giving birth or adopting.
Also, China is now very particular about both parents being healthy, so without delving into your personal health issues, you might not qualify for adopting from China now that they've changed the requirements.
