Feeling a little uneasy

Today was the BIG CCAA Annual Meeting... the unofficial results from some agencies have been listed on RQ's site as;

They state that the following requirements will be in place for all dossiers accepted after May 1, 2007. Read that again - for all dossiers accepted after that date. If your dossier is in by that date then presumably you are okay under the current rules. The new rules are stated to be:

• Married couples only. No singles. Agencies may continue to submit singles dossiers within their 8% constraints until May 1, 2007 and then the CCAA will not accept any more single dossiers.
• Married couples must be married over 2 years if there are no previous marriages. If there are previous marriages then the present marriage must be over 5 years. However, no more than two previous marriages will be allowed (it is unclear if this is two per person or two per couple)
• Each parent must be 30 to 50 years old. No parent can be outside of this range. Upper limit can be 55 for a family in the waiting child program (and that “can be” kind of looks like it’s going to be on a case by case basis, not an absolute, but it’s hard to tell).
• The CCAA wants healthy parents - no infectious disease, no mental disease (including depression or anxiety), no blindness, and no serious disease or disability. There is a note about waiting to see what the CCAA‚’s formal notice says, which sounds to me like they hope there will be more information in the formal notice about these things. There is another note that cancer was not specifically mentioned.
• Both parents must have a BMI under 40.
• At least one parent must have a stable job. Income requirement is $10,000 per family member including the child to be adopted.
• Family's net assets must be over $80,000
• Each parent must have a high school education or higher.
• No more than five children in the home including the child to be adopted. The youngest child in the home must be over 1 year old. Exceptions will be considered for the waiting child program.
• No criminal record. There is a note about the CCAA not elaborating so we will again have to wait to see what the formal notice says.
• The CCAA fees are also changing - going from $410 to $620.

I know that I am almost done and that my paperwork will be in China soon... but this makes me VERY uneasy about the process and the wait... Anyone else worried at all?? I don't like coming home to this type of message..... What a way to start the weekend. Hummmmph. I am sad, and overwhelmed at the uncertainity of it all... I just don't want to even think about any of it right now.
