May (or April) Referrals

In case you haven't heard, we finally received referrals for April - which actually occurred in May. Now the CCAA has matched families with log-in dates (LID) through March 14, 2006. That means they have 15 days of matching to get to my LID of March 29, 2009. By the way, four of those days are weekend days :). The really good news is the CCAA has matched several Gladney families this time and I'M NEXT! - next with Gladney anyway. The next LID at Gladney is March 29, 2006 - my day!!! Now as you have seen it can take several months to get through 15 days of referrals but this is the first time I can say I am next.

As excited as I got about being next at Gladney I cannot imagine what it will be like when I get my referral and see the photo of my baby for the first time. Then, we will all need to pray as I wait for the long 6-8 weeks to pass until I get to travel to China and hold Abby for the first time.

I cannot say thank you enough to all of my family and friends who have continued to support, encourage and pray for me during this long wait. We are on the home stretch so keep praying.
