Referrals are in!!

(Chinese symbol for hope and happiness)
The Rumor Queen nailed it on the head this time...the cut off for this batch of referrals was DECEMBER 27, 2005. The CCAA managed an 8 day batch! If they continue at this rate (evey batch being at least an 8 day batch), we could expect a referral in 9 months!! There is nothing to indicate that they will be able to continue with 8 day or more batches, but one can always hope!

Below is the announcement from our angency:

On February 4, 2008, Children's Hope received 11 China referrals.These referrals were for our 12/20/05 log in date families. We did not receive any Chinese expedited referrals in this group. This group of referrals included 9 beautiful little girls and 2 handsome little boys! Both of the families that received boys requested boy or girl in their petition letter. They are from the Gansu, Guangdong, and Jilin provinces and Tianjin City. Their ages are 7 to 15 months, one 24 months and one 28 months. These families waited 25 long months from log in date to referral. We expect these families to travel in about 8 weeks. One family that received the 24 month old boy requested a boy or girl 6-12 months old. The family that received the 28 month old girl requested a 0-12 months old girl but the referral fell within the CCAA age guidelines. This group of referrals began with the 12/20/05 through 12/27/05 log in dates. Congratulations to these families and all our China families who have moved up in line! Children's Hope International's next log in date is 1/6/06.
