Referrals

Well, it seems that the referrals did come but they only referred 2 (yes two!) days. This is the Hot News from our agency:

January 29, 2009

We recently received referrals for a few families that had recently come off of "hold" status. We did not receive referrals for our next LID group. The CCAA online system has not been updated yet; however, it appears as though referrals went through March 2, 2006. This makes the current wait time approximately 35 months.

I know that China was getting ready for their big holiday so this may be why the referrals was so small. Also the fact that they haven't changed their "box" to reflect the referrals may be due to the holiday as well. I am getting really down about the referrals but I am in it for the long haul. I believe that God has our baby already hand picked for us. Patience and faith...faith and patience, we are walking hand in hand with God on this....Kara, I know you are out there...we are coming for you, baby!

It's a New Year

Well, the new year has come and we are already working our way through January. This is a tough month for my family...last year at this time we found out that my Mom had cancer. Three weeks later she went to be with her Lord and Savior. It was difficult to lose her so quickly but knowing that she did not suffer long, we are thankful and we praise God for taking her home. We take comfort in knowing that one day we will have a great big reunion when we all see heaven. Please just keep my Dad in your prayers...while he is doing good, I know that he misses Mom so much and this time has been especially hard on him.

Not much new on the adoption at this time. Just waiting on referrals as usual. The CCAA will be taking off for their Chinese New Year so we may see the referrals earlier than the norm. Soon as I hear something, I will be back on here. Take care everyone!
