Well, the news we got today was not the news we had hoped for. The skin cancer issue from 2005 was malignant and the doctor had to notate it as such (I had in my mind that it was benign - that must have just been wishful memory). We were hoping it could be worded in a way that was both truthful and that would pass the Chinese govenment's "watchful eye".
After speaking with the agency today there are two options - one is to completely pull out and the other is to continue with the process - push it through and hope for an exception. It could be two years or more before China gets to our dossier in the pile of backlog to even make a decision. She said that only one case in all the ones they have dealt with was accepted - and it was a skin cancer that had occured years ago. She gave an example of a guy who had thyroid cancer about 20 years before and no longer had his thyroid - clearly he would never have thyroid cancer again, but was still denied. For years our agency has tried to get their government to change their stance on this. I truly have no idea what we will do. It feels like the wind has been knocked out of us.
Thank you for your prayers - please ask that God will guide us in His will for us as we make a decision.

I can't imagine your frustration with this bizarre process. I'm praying God's peace on your hearts, and guidance in deciding where to go from here.
