How long must I wait?

The word on the street is that the Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs has slowed down a bit because of so many people adopting from China. I know that the CCAA is working hard, but I would just like to offer a suggestion...HIRE MORE PEOPLE!!! It's a novel idea, I know, but when there is too much work for a certain number of people to do, more people *may* make the process speed up! This means that I might be waiting for Eliza longer. Have I mentioned that I am IMPATIENTLY waiting? The room is painted, the clothing is purchased, the car seat is waiting to be installed, my sick leave is saved...where is my baby? Here is what the CCAA website had to say:


How long will it take approximately the CCAA from the time of accepting the adoption application to thetime of issuing "Notice of Coming to China for Adoption of Children"?
Date：12,Oct,2005 Source: CCAA
The duration from the time the CCAA accepts the adoption application to the time it issues the Notice of Coming to China for Adoption of Children is restricted by various factors, such as the number of foreign adopters’ applications and the number of children who can be placed out for inter-country adoption; whether or not the adopters’ desire could be met; and whether or not the supplementary materials and the feedback of Letter Seeking Confirmation from the Adopters can be received in time, etc. At present, it will take the CCAA about 12 months from the time of accepting the adoption application to the time of issuing the Notice of Coming to China for Adoption of Children.
