The best of intentions . . .

Well, I was reminded a week or so ago that I hadn't updated the blog. (Thanks Grasshopper!) I noticed I completely skipped the JUNE post. It was a crazy month. I celebrated my last birthday :) - turned 39! Next year I would like to be on a beach with friends to celebrate the first anniversary of my 39th birthday, of course, with Abby in tow.

As for referrals - the CCAA has matched through March 20th. Still nine more days to get to my date. The good news about the delayed post is that it is already (or finally) time for the next group of referrals. Early news is saying they have made it through the 22nd. Just to keep everyone on the same page, on the March 2006 calendar, the last date referred was March 20th which was a Monday which makes the 22nd a Wednesday. The latest poll from chinaadopt.com has the next few referrals days listed as really big days - meaning there were large numbers of family logged in on the last few days of March.

March 21 - 52 families
March 22 - 49 families
March 23 - 37 families
March 24 - 40 familes
March 25 -Saturday - CCAA Closed
March 26 -3 families (this was a Sunday - so probably not accurate)
March 27 -40 families
March 28 -35 families
March 29 - 62 families (one of them is me :))

The point of this is to show that if they only do two days they have still referred 101 babies in a month and hopefully at that rate, they can get to me by September or October and I can finally have Abby home for Christmas.

I will try to update again at the end of the week to let you know the official cut off for the month.

Keep praying!!
With love,
Becky
