I Kissed An Angel....

Today I kissed an angel
I knew it from the start
The first time my angel smiled at me
I gave away my heart

Today I kissed an angel
this angel child of mine
Though not of my creation
my child by God's design

Today I kissed an angel
my heart is dancing wild,
A family by a miracle
blessed by this angel child.

Better News....

We just received the following email from our facilitator (CFC):

"Hello everyone,

Referrals of children have been released by the China Center of Adoption Affairs to families with a registration date of January 26, 2006, to January 31, 2006.

When I have any information about the next batch of referrals to be released by CCAA, I will be in touch.

Rgds
Linda"

Lesson learned here...don't believe everything you read on certain sites, wait to get confirmation from your own agency!!!
Anyway, we're feeling a bit better about this.
PS.Lady Bug on our truck today, our luck may be changing soon!!!

Not great news this month!!!

First off, we would like to congratulate the families that received referrals this month for their children, after having a very long wait for them.

Although we know our time will come too, or at least we hope that it will...it has been an excruciatingly long wait and very trying, to say the least. It has been very difficult to "live life" not knowing when you will be travelling, and when the time can vary so much depending on "how many days CCAA can get through for their referrals each month".

We were expecting a small batch this month because of the Olympics, but when we saw 2 days of referrals~ we were shocked, to say the least, and disappointed would be putting it mildly...

According to the updated "China Adoption Forecast" with our log in date of 03-15-2006, we will likely receive our referral now in mid April ~ I guess this will vary,depending on what CCAA does after the Olympics (as far as the # of referrals go each month).

I think we are going to wait and see how the referrals go for a couple of months after the Olympics are through, and if they continue like this, I think we may have to reconsider our decision here.
