Adoption Woes

We've been working on adopting a baby for about a year and a half now. We tried China first, then Taiwan, and settled on Vietnam. About 6 months ago Vietnam closed and we decided to stick with our same agency and do a domestic adoption. We just got word today that our agency is closing down and filing for bankruptcy. Those who have gone through the adoption process know the hours and hours of paperwork, home studies, doctor's appointments, fingerprinting, etc. that we've had to go through. Now another bump in the road. Our caseworker said she'd do her best to help us to transition to another agency, but of course there is going to be new paperwork and we are going to end up shelling out a lot more money (and the several thousand dollars we put into our old agency is gone for good.) Sigh . . . Well we know this is the right thing for us to do, and anything too easy wouldn't be worth it, right? We'll keep you all updated. I'm sure at some point things will work out.
