I was in the middle of a China adoption in 2007 when my first 2 foster daughters became available for adoption, the China adoption agency assured me that since my girls had already been with me for 2 years , that China would not hold that against me and I could proceed with the Intl adoption. <br /><br />The next year I was about 6 months away from my referral, after waiting almost 3 whole years, and I got my daughter Ava Marie placed with me as a foster child, we knew that her case would go straight to adoption, so I informed the China adoption agency. I knew it would mean that my China adoption would be over, they don't let you adopt if you have more than 2 children AND you are single.<br /><br />In the end I have 4 adopted daughters through fostering. I am sure this is what God meant for me all along. I did lose about $10,000 to the China adoption, but I have 4 beautiful daughters in the long run, so I believe it was all for the best! And I wrote off that money as a donation to the agency! <br /><br />Praying for your 4th!<br />Maureenmaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445627869939756060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23828843.post-57686532907109795792012-01-20T07:31:49.295-06:002012-01-20T07:31:49.295-06:00Ugh- what a let down...

I am sure in the end it will all be clear to you and you will find your little one. It won't be easy but as I am sure you know adoption never is but in the end it is sooo worth it!
