Hi Sarah,
I am also interested in learning more about independent adoptions through Taiwan. My husband and I are currently on a waitlist to ultimately adopt a NSN infant girl from Chung Yi, but we have no idea how long it will take. We have considered switching to the foster care program at TWCA, but the costs are prohibitively expensive. If you have any suggestions about who we might be able to contact to inquire about possible children, I would love to hear them. A little bit about us: we are not religious, so I don't know if that makes it impossible to adopt independently (it seems like most, if not all, private facilitators are Christian based). I am also 6 months pregnant--I know most agencies require that the bio baby be 6 months old before we can submit any paperwork to Taiwan, and we are just fine with that. Would having such a young child in our home hurt our chances?
I welcome any info you are willing to share!
Thanks!
