Not at all. Do I like the fact that with celebrity all things seem to come incredibly easy and rules are waved? Nope. Can I wax poetic about this and that, regarding how I REALLY feel about the whole situation? Sure I could (and I don't mean that anyone shouldn't!)... But in the end, this child got to go home with a mom and dad instead of languish in this orphanage. If I can just focus on that, then the rest of it doesn't mean squat.Headmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842048653417728566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31481065.post-1161135601647308162006-10-17T21:40:00.000-04:002006-10-17T21:40:00.000-04:00Tracy,Actually I heard that there is a wait of sor...Tracy,<BR/><BR/>Actually I heard that there is a wait of sorts, you have to be in the country for X number of months (which the original article said was either 12 or 18 months). But of course since CNN tweaked the article, that piece of information is strangely missing now...Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024122171786681618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31481065.post-1161134654292146722006-10-17T21:24:00.000-04:002006-10-17T21:24:00.000-04:00I would agree if there was a wait.

But I heard that there is NO wait in this poor country because there has never been a need for foreign adoptions and they have never allowed adoptions because a} nobody in the country can afford to adopt and take on another child and b] the country is so poor that nobody from any other country has wanted to. So I say, adopt away, it's about the kids, not us. I would be ticked if there was an adoption line at the door and a celebrity skipped right passed our very long horrific wait, like if she went to China and passed our LID.t~https://www.blogger.com/profile/16661748211204975504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31481065.post-1161129229455212262006-10-17T19:53:00.000-04:002006-10-17T19:53:00.000-04:00HUMMMMMMMMM Bet she didn't have the wait we do, am...HUMMMMMMMMM Bet she didn't have the wait we do, amazing what money can do huh? I just hope for the little boy's sake it isn't just a publicity scam and that some random nanny raises the little boy. I guess all we can do is pray that she truely has the little boy's well being at heart.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375551348761423144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31481065.post-1161123269572892462006-10-17T18:14:00.000-04:002006-10-17T18:14:00.000-04:00I second WZgirl's comment!I second WZgirl's comment!Sugar Cookies And Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062321249975691855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31481065.post-1161100277289080682006-10-17T11:51:00.000-04:002006-10-17T11:51:00.000-04:00don't get me going again, I already have my pantie...don't get me going again, I already have my panties in a wad over this one. I heard the law is actually 18 months in the country. <BR/>All of these stars could use their fame and pull to get positive things done in the IA world like an extenstion for us on the I171H, and not have to contend with the wait and the money associated with refiling it when it expires and we are all still waiting.
