The agency who's packet I finally received... they still aren't responding to email. I even tried emailing from another address thinking that maybe a free email address might have been shunted to the "spam" pile, but still no response. It's not that big of an agency, how long can it take to answer a simple email question? Is this how they would act during the adoption process? I'm not a demanding type person... but I do think that an simple email should be responded to within 5 days. Am I crazy?
I also got an email from an agency with a spot open for 2006 - but I would have to get all my paperwork in by Nov. 1st. That means a lot of running around and shelling out at a lot of money that I thought I would have time to save for. On the other hand, it also means I could have a child in my arms by early 2008! (or even less time if the wait shortens, heh.) I finally discovered some local homestudy agencies (phonebook, who knew people still used those?), so on Monday, I'll start calling around to get prices. I'm hoping that going local will save me a bit of money.
Great Wall will be having their "application review" in two months for 2007 slots. It's so crazy to be haunting the net like this... searching for an opening and hedging bets everywhere. But every way I've thought about expiditing the process seems to be at least unethical, if not illegal.

I just found your blog so I'll have to take some time to read through the archives. But follow your instincts when searching for an agency. If they don't respond in a timely fashion now, they won't respond in a timely fashion when you really need them.
