Referrals Have Arrived

Hello everyone! Here is the official word from the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs)website:

"The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before November 25, 2005."

Gladney received nine referrals this week for the nine families in the 11/22/2005 group. I know 11/22/05 seems a long way off from my 03/29/2006 group but with each set of referrals I move a little closer. There are approximately 22 more people in the December, January, and February groups at Gladney and then 13 people in the 2 groups in March -- but, one of those 13 is me. Our next group is December 20th and it took a couple of months to get through November so keep the prayers coming that things can move a little faster and we can get to my group soon. I am ready to bring Abby home.

As always thanks for keeping us both in your prayers,

September Update

Well, as tomorrow is a holiday, there will be no Gladney conference call this month. The next call will be in October. As of Friday when I checked the CCAA website, China is still placing babies from November 2005. Hopefully we will get some referrals soon for our November group, but it is still a long way to the March 2006 group. I will definitely update the site when we receive the next group of referrals. With every group of referrals, I move a little bit closer to bringing Abby home.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 100 Wishes Quilt. It has turned out to be 100+ Wishes. If you still wish to participate, please send your wish and fabric. I will add squares to the back of the quilt for anyone who still wants to be part of this wonderful project. It has been so neat to sit back a read all the good wishes and blessing that are wished for Abby. I cannot wait for her to get here and meet all of you.

Please continue to pray for Abby and for me as we wait to become a family.

With love,

Becky
