The Hague convention was just signed by the US on Friday of this week. It's all a little fuzzy to me, but apparently, if anything expires regardless of where you are in line with paperwork, then your status goes in to the Hague Convention status, and then you would have to be approved for adoption based on the Hague, instead of the current way. Like I said, it's all very fuzzy to me, but from what I understand, under the restrictions of the Hague, countries have to find families for children FIRST that share the same heritage as the child. <BR/>I really don't know how any of this is going to work it's way around to us, but I'm not bold enough to find out. All I really know is, if you let anything expire, even if you are waiting for an appointment, it will send your case in to the Hague requirements.<BR/>You can read more about the Hague on RQ's site, or google Hague. Although, if you are less confused than me, let me know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16279318.post-8195891196111328972007-11-20T18:06:00.000-08:002007-11-20T18:06:00.000-08:00Good thinking, Glen.Isn't it sad though, that we a...Good thinking, Glen.<BR/>Isn't it sad though, that we actually have to be thinking about this stuff? I can completely understand the longer waits, but really, our government should help us in this stuff, without having to pay more again anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
