Hague Accreditation

Our agency is waiting to be accredited for the Hague. China is a Hague country so all adoption agencies must pay to be part of this group. Our agency had some problems in the past and now this may delay or agencies accreditation or even have them denied. Where do we stand? If our agency does not get accredited then we can not continue our adoption through this agency. Our dossier will be transfer to another agency. If we let our I171h expire and our agency is not accredited then we will loose our adoption. We will be on our third renewal of these forms at the end of this year. This next time we renew, it will have to be a new form--the I800 and it is a much longer tedious form to fill out. April will be our 23 month of waiting! We should travel in the fall of 2009. Only 18 more months. :0(
