Adoption Update:

"The current status for dossiers registered with the China Center of Adoption Affairs is detailed. This month, the CCAA completed the matching process for families with dossiers registered through January 12, 2006. It has been confirmed that the CCAA has completed the review of dossiers registered through January 31, 2007. We hope to receive our next batch of referrals in early June."

Reminder: our LID is September 18, 2006 and we are watching for the matching dates to get closer and closer to our LID- currently CCAA has completed LID through Jan 12, 06. And, we expect to hear the next matching batch in early June.

Some very scary news... "BEIJING (AFP) - A deadly viral outbreak that preys on children has appeared in Olympic host city Beijing, and the number of infections in China has grown to more than 9,000, state media reported Monday."

ADOPTION UPDATE:

The stork has landed! Our agency received referrals for families whose dossiers were logged in on January 12, 2006. The CCAA has not released a cutoff date yet, but as soon as they do, I will let you know. Of the referrals, our agency received- they were all girls! The children ranged in age from 6 1/2 months to 36 months. The children in this referral group are from the following Provinces: Jiangsu, Jiangxi and Guangxi . Congratulations to these families!

Our LID is September 18, 2006. Atleast CCAA is finally in our year. Though it is taking them a very long time to make it through January we are excited they are progressing closer and closer to our LID. We estimate we may hear our referral Summer 09. Of course, we keep our fingers and toes crossed that it will happen sooner- anything is possible when God is in control! Please keep us and Baby Miller in your prayers! We thank each of you for following our journey!
