Apparently the new legislation was to be presented in the parliament this month.
HOWEVER- I just heard from a friend who is also in the 'process' and she was allocated a baby from Romania last week. I don't know how they managed to get one yet, but it does provide some, albeit small, hope. Keep in touch!

My agency is being told Mid to Late June. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope they will see how important it is to give the children loving homes. The unknown waiting period is the hardest part. Good Luck to all.
