冬日好！目前看来收养还是挺困难的，助养可能震后最方便，但是我们还是在搜集信息。就是你现在排队，排的有点太渺茫了

莲妈我还没爬完楼，汗一个。

刚听到地震的消息，也这么想来着，可我现在真的是做不到，困难都是无法克服的。看到你的帖子就想自己能做点什么。呵呵。

今天我跟我们村一个号称全美top的中国领养中心branch office 打了个电话，有一些确切的information，跟大家分享一下. 我还是打英文吧，比较快

(1) at least one of the adopting parents should have citizenship, the other one should have PR.
(2) Annual income >= $40,000. Property >= $80,000.
(3) both parents age 30-50, healthy, no criminal record
(4) Chinese born parent has priority to get an earlier referral, now average waiting time is 19 month
(5) Total cost is around $26,000 - $28,000. need to pay half before and half after.
(6) 8 options  (8 matching kids ) to choose from, pictures only
(7) 95% of adopted kids are girls and age between 6 month - 36 month


It's a long ,expensive and torturing journey. Make sure to understand all the procedure before dong that.

不会吧，还要30岁，我还差一岁

领养费用是太高了，但好在是一次性的。

我在想，如果地震后国家有新的政策出炉可以expedite国际领养的等待时间，比如说半年，我们华人是否可以弄一个donation account， 来资助领养家庭的高额领养费用，人多力量大。
