China Adoption Update

Well, bamboozled again. Last week the Rumor Queen said that there was a rumor that the CCAA was possibly going to get well into March and we might even get a referral THIS MONTH! Then, referrals come out and the CCAA only got through TWO DAYS of matches. They are now through March 2, 2006. If they continue at this pace, then we might not get Olivia's referral until May. After nearly 3.5 years since we started this process, what is another few months, right?

From our agency:

We are excited to announce that we received 8 healthy female referrals today! Families receiving referrals were logged into the China Center of AdoptionAffairs on March 1, 2006. (group 250). We also received a referralfor a family who was expedited due to Chinese heritage.

These little girls are currently located in the Jiangxi Province and range in age from 12-16 months old. Please join us in congratulating these families, and in praying for them as they prepare to travel.

Our LID is 3-13-06. Our group number with our agency is 252. Olivia and our final journey to her is on the horizon, but until then the rollercoaster ride continues!
