I agree it would be tough for anyone to stay in a foreign land without their jobs etc for 6 months.
However, on the other hand, the government has to take precautions with keeping contagious diseases out of our country. If a child DOES have active TB, then they should be treated before entering the country.
But, why can't CCAA insist that the orphanages test for this before placing for adoption? It would be much easier (heart breaking but easier) for a family to decide to go to China AFTER or during the treatments than it would be to find out after the fact that they have to stay in China for an extended 6 months.
At least the family would know in advance how long they would intend to stay, and be able to make plans accordingly.
