We have decided to host another exchange student this year. We are hoping it will help the time pass more quickly until we can hold our daughter in our arms. This years exchange student is from Japan. Her name is Mari and she is 16 years old. She would like to become an interpreter so I think this will be a great experience for her. She was here in Ohio last summer with a three week exchange program and loved it. We are looking forward to hosting again.
On the adoption front, not much new happening right now. Rumors are the matching has begun so pray that there are alot of LID's in this batch!

April Referrals
Posted in the Hot News from our adoption agency:
April 07, 2009
Referral and dossier review update:
Through the CCAA's on-line site for adoption agencies, we received the following update regarding the review of dossiers and placement of children:
Document Processing
The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before March 31, 2007.
The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before March 08, 2006.
As I said before, March is a huge month according to the "Rumor Queen". Her blog is called China Adopt Talk and it is a great source for information, even if sometimes it is only rumors. Here is the latest rumor which I found interesting:
April 8th, 2009
We’ve talked before about how some orphanage directors are driven towards finding homes for the children under their care, while other directors are more worried about job security, and thus they want to keep enough kids around to justify their budget.
I’ve heard a rumor that the CCAA has made it clear to the directors that their job performance is no longer just going to be based on the state of the facilities and the number of children in those facilities. The CCAA has added a portion of the job performance that shows how many children the director helps find a permanent home.
Hopefully, this will give the orphanage directors incentive to get babies paper ready for international adoption! Please keep praying for us.

April Referrals
It's April already and it looks like the rumors are starting to fly. From what I can tell, March 7th was a really big log in day. From what I have seen so far, the next batch of referrals may only go 2 days this month. I think the previous rumors has March as a huge month for LIDs. So, as soon as I hear something, you will be the first to know!
