Prayer Request

Okay Prayer Warrior:

It is that time of the month again. The Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs is preparing to send out this months matches. This is one of the last pieces before traveling to China. A match means you have been matched with a child in China and a photo and medical report are on the way. Last month matches were made through November 27, 2005. If you recall batches have been containing 5-7 days of matches. I would ask that you all say a prayer that we will have a big batch of matches this month, and can move in to 2006. Again, my Log In Date (LID) is 03/29/2006 and we have a ways to go but the bigger the batch the better so start praying.
Thank you so much for love and support during this long wait. I couldn't do it without your encouragement.

February Update

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! Today was another conference call with Gladney. They are now in the process of matching our families with a 12/20 login date. There are seven families in that group and I know they must be very excited after waiting 25 mos. to see a photo of their baby. The CCAA has now matched through December 27, 2005 so we are three months and two days from my login in date of 03/29/06.

At the current rate it is taking about four months to complete one month of log in dates. That would mean another year of waiting. Hopefully things will start to speed up soon but not until after the Chinese New Celebration which closes most government offices (including the CCAA) from now until the middle of next week. Keep praying!
