Happy National Day - October 1, 2008
This year marks the 59th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
On the downside, this a week long holiday celebrated in China and the Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) will be closed and not processing any paperwork.
On the upside, the CCAA has now processed paperwork through 2/15/2006. There are only 41 days of paperwork to process to get to Abby's Log In Date (LID) of 3/29/2006.
Additionally, there are only 2 LID groups ahead of me at Gladney, consisting of 8 families (2/24 - 3 families and 3/14 - 5 families). That means there are only 8 Gladney families ahead of my group, which consists of 4 families. I think this adoption may actually happen. :)
My case worker feels like I will probably get a referral (a document containing a photo and medical report of Abby) in February of 2009, which puts my travel to China in March or April of 2009. This, of course, is just a feeling and all depends on how many days the CCAA processes each month between now and then.
Prayer Requests: Please pray that Abby is safe and well in China. Please pray for blessings on her caretakers and that they are seeing to her needs. Please pray for her parents that had for one reason or another give up this precious child. Please pray for me that I will continue to wait on the Lord to bring to pass all that He has planned for me. Please pray for big batches over the next few months. The last two months have been 9 and 6 days (as opposed to the 2 or 3 days batches earlier this year).
Thank you for your love and support over the last 3 years. I know they have helped me get through this long wait.
