February referrals arrived today. The cutoff is December 27th, 8 DAYS! This is so much better than the 3 day batch we had last month. The CCAA is less than one month away from our 1/26/06 LID!!!! I really think this is going to happen for us. At this point it looks like we would receive a referral in the beginning of July, with travel in September. Looking like I will have a picture to stare at on the beach all summer! It is still possible that we could get an earlier referral or a later referral but July is the most likely right now.
With that being said, my heart is still heavy knowing that lots of babies and children are suffering right now in China. Southeastern China is being hit with some of the worst winter weather in recent history. Some of these areas are not accustomed to the snow and bitter cold. The orphanages are running out of heat, diapers and food. Our Lily is quite possibly in one of these orphanages. If you pray, then please say a prayer for all the babies and if you have the means to do so then please consider making a donation to http://halfthesky.org/
Half the Sky is tryng to send money and relief to these orphanages and every dollar counts. Thank you for any support and prayers you can give!
