自从七月初将领养申请寄到移民局,在等待的同时,我开始阅读大量有关领养的各种信息,加入了各种有关领养的网上兴趣小组,这也包括了有关特殊需要的小孩。 随着阅读的不断增加,我的心逐渐被这些可爱的孩子所吸引。 很多孩子经过手术或治疗后,大都同正常小孩一样,我从心里觉得,我们也可以抚养一个这样的孩子。我每读到一些有关资料,就跟先生说说,他也开始慢慢接受。 于是我们于8月12日转为申请领养特殊需要的小孩. 每当我想到这些可爱的孩子,我常常会激动得难以入睡。 想想自己又要当妈妈了,好多好多计划让我浮想联翩......
While waiting for USCIS approval after submitting the I-800A, I started doing a lot of research on China adoption. I joined various forums regarding China adoption including the special needs (SN) program. As I read more and more, my heart was drawn to these precious children.A lot of the kids have some minor or moderate SN and they can live a normal life after surgery and treatment. I feel that we can provide a loving family for such a child. We decided to switch to the special needs program on August 12, 2008.
