A Twist in Our Adoption Plans

God has thrown a curve ball for us to adopt a healthy Thai toddler. All of the agencies that facilitate Thailand adoptions are either closed or require us to be infertile.

So, now it's time for plan B. We still want to adopt, but from where? We'd like a child that at least somewhat looks like us so here's a list of Asian countries:
  • China: takes about 28 months!
  • Vietnam: closed
  • South Korea: very costly
  • Kahzakstan: length of stay at the country is like 2 months!
  • Philippines: this is plan B
The full layout of plan B is to adopt first from the Philippines. Since my wife is Filippino, the process is quicker. After we have our Filipino toddler (boy), then we still start the process for China (girl) so that it doesn't seem like we are waiting forever. This will inspire me to learn some Cantonese. What a plan!

Just pray that there isn't a plan C. And, if there is a plan C, may we both trust in the Lord that He will ultimately provide.

Just think: father = Chinese American, mother = Filippina, son = Filippino, daughter = Chinese.
