Shirley O'Brien
me ...
Shirley, 46,
lives in Longwood, Florida, just north of Orlando, with her two daughters. Katie, 3, and Carol, 2. I am the director of a summer camp for the developmentally disabled and direct a year-round residential program for boys in foster care. Katie (Yang Yi Hui) was born December 22, 1996 and was adopted from Yangzhou on September 15, 1997. Katie then returned with me to adopt Carol (Du An Xian) from Changsha on Feburary 1, 1999. (Carol was born June 12, 1998.) I would really like to add a son/brother to the family and have requested so in my dossier.
my adoption plans ...
My agency is Suncoast International Adoptions. I started the paperwork for this adoption in September 1999, and my dossier was logged in on February 23, 2000. My first referral wait, for Katie, was 430 days. My referral
wait for Carol was 180 days. It appears that this wait will be
somewhere between the two in length. I have requested a special needs boy up to 18 months old, so that my daughters can have a brother. I have been told that the referral could come with those of the other February DTCs or take up to 2 years. I am hoping it will be sooner! Also, whether I am paperwork pregnant with a boy or girl will be known when we get our referrals.
