Greetings. I'm quite new to this, so please bare with me. My husband & I are in the process of adopting an older child with cerebral palsy from Thailand. The dossier is complete and we were pre-approved by the orphanage the child is in. At this stage we need approval by the DSDW (goverment authority who has the final say). We have a biological child who is 3 1/2 and chose to adopt simply to give a child a home. I just found out I was pregnant. We still hope to pursue adopting the little boy in Thailand, but fear that the DSDW will now reject us. This would truly be a shame as we have wonderful resources for helping a child with CP and we've done so much research on the subject, The agency we're working with is still behind us, but is clearly not pleased. Has anyone had a similar experience and/or can offer advice? Regards.
