December Adoption Update

This will be a very Merry Christmas for some families who will be receiving their referral this week.  Unfortunately, it's not us.  China matched referrals for dates Aug. 8-10, 2006.  That puts us being 40 days away.  The last several batches have been only 2 or 3 days at a time.  I'm SERIOUSLY hoping for a speed-up in 2012.  I've had my heart set on receiving a referral in the Spring and that won't happen at this rate.  We REALLY, REALLY need to travel before Aug. so we can stay under the "old paperwork".  If we have to renew and have the "new paperwork" then we have to wait 4-6 months to travel.  If we can travel under the old paperwork then we can travel in 6-8 weeks.  That's a HUGE difference when you have an ocean between a momma and her baby!  Merry Christmas everyone!
