Korea signed Hague

Korea signed the Hague treaty yesterday  Global post article Here .  I know there has been talk of this but I was kind of hoping it would not happen until our adoption was complete.

The Hague is a treaty or set of rules that establishes international standards for intercountry adoptions.  The Hague is aimed to establish best practices keeping the children's best interest in mind.  I think overall this is probably a good thing but I am hoping there are no more delays in the program.

I guess we will have to wait and see what this will mean for us.  It could be that they will grandfather those who currently have an I-600 in the program and we will not have to redo our paperwork or since we are not matched with a child yet they could ask us to redo our paperwork and complete the I-800 process.  I  don't mind doing more paperwork but the last 10 months the Korea program has been going through constant change the process would change from one week to the next.  They would make a set of procedures then change them.  It is very frustrating and leaves you feeling like you can't not fully attach to the idea that your family will grow through this adoption process because you are hesitant something will happen.

I am going to try to look at this as a positive for now.
