I just really don't understand how so many people (US & China) can drag their feet like this

If I didn't already have a little Chinese daughter bonded into my mind I'd be tempted to look at another country, but I really have bonded with the mental image of a little Chinese daughter and I just know that's where I'm being led to.
i wish I had started this process earlier and thus had a shorter wait, but then I wouldn't be getting the same daughter. In fact, at first I was completely against adoption. I didn't even want to talk about it with my wife. But one day at our church the pastor was giving a cermon about how God had adopted us all as his children and It really spoke to me. and I knew that it was what I was supposed to do. it's funny how things happen. Hopefully the process speeds up with the Olympics being over and the orphanage donation being increased. As it stands It's probably going to take another 4 to 6 years the way things are going.
