We received the following announcement from our agency today! Reading the announcement gave me goosbumps...with this batch of referrals we are now only 29 LID days away from being matched. Finally, finally, finally there are less than 30 days ahead of us in line! There are only 19 days left to match in February and then they will start March! It feels like it's right around the corner....
Children's Hope International received 22 referrals today, September 2, 2008. There were 21 beautiful girls and one handsome little boy in this group of referrals. The families that received referrals had LID's of February 9, 2006 and there was one Chinese expedited family with a LID of January 22, 2007. The children are from Beijing and the Jiangxi , Shaanxi , and the Guangdong Provinces . These beautiful children ranged in ages of 5 months to 9 months old. In addition there was a 29 month old, a 3 year one month old, 3 year 2 month old, 3 year 11 month old, and a 4 year 1 month. The parents that received the children over 24 months fell within the range of what the families requested or the parents were with in the age guidelines for a toddler. Congratulations to all of these families!
Families waited 31 months for their referrals and the Chinese expedited families waited 19 months. The CCAA sent referrals out for families with LID's of 2/1/06 through 2/9/06. The next LID for Children's Hope families is 2/17/06.

I can't believe it...oh no, here comes the stomach ache again...I'm so excited! What's the deal with the Chinese Expedited referrals...how can we get on that "A" list? Do you have to be Chinese?
Yes Jaime, you do have to be Chinese and/or have lived in China...or something like that. All I know is that I don't qualify...bummer, huh?!
