Never in my dreams would I have suspected that some pig originated super bug would impact my travel to get my little boy!!! At this point aliens could land in my back yard and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised!!!
We are still waiting on LOA, which at this point should not be delayed by the flu, but our TA (travel approval) may be delayed (who knows how long) if this epidemic (is it at epidemic stage yet?) doesn't get handled quickly! This is what our agency released today:
We have received inquiries about the many rumors circulating due to the global Swine Flu epidemic. At this point, CCAA has not made any official announcement to agencies about suspending the sending of paperwork (i.e. referrals, LOA, Travel Invitations, etc.).
We do know that May 1 is the “International Labor Day” holiday celebrated throughout China, and therefore, CCAA has a regular scheduled holiday (offices closed).
When we learn any new information as to if/how the Swine Flu may affect any portion of your adoption process, we will post the information here. Please check back for updates.
We pray for those affected by this epidemic.
A little discouraged-yes, tears-no. I have no control over this and I will continue to pray and wait. I also pray for the family of the little 24 month old, who died from this illness and I know that if there is a delay it will be for our health...I am sure though that if things don't turn around quickly (talk of no vaccine for 4-6 months!?) then we very well could be delayed. I am sure China does not want another SARS on their hands!
