I haven't posted in a while. We really haven't had any adoption news to post. We still aren't through the review room yet. We didn't know what the review room was when we started the process. I assume most of you don't know either. The review room is where they decide if we can adopt a baby from China or not. I initially thought that was determined with our application. That is not the case. The Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs (In China), decides. They haven't gotten to the people who have started the process when we did. We are still in limbo.
On a bright note, we did recieve our new 171-H (immigration form to bring an adopted child into this country) today. Our old one expired. We now have 18 months to get Amelia home before this one expires. Our new fingerprints expire in about 14 more months. It is unlikely that we will make it to China and back before that.
I see that I was unable to keep it on the positive side. It has been a rough week on all levels.

hang in there, Melody. One good thing about having to renew, is that is means we must have a big chunk of waiting behind us :)
I'm glad you got your new 171H. I'm still waiting for mine to land in my mailbox.
I had no idea what the review room was, either. I am certain they never talked about it at orientation. I am all too familiar with it now! Very soon, I hope we will be celebrating our exit from review!!
This waiting is so hard, and it is impossible to be positive all the time.... I'm thinking good thoughts for you!
