December Update from My Agency

"On December 6, 2007, Children's Hope received 5 China referrals.These referrals were for our five 12/13/05 log in date families.They are 5 beautiful little girls! They are from the Jiangxiprovince. They range in age from 9 to 10 months. These familieswaited 24 long months from log in date to referral. We expect thesefamilies to travel in about 8 weeks.This group of referrals began with the 12/9/05 through 12/14/05 login dates. Congratulations to these families and all our China families who have moved up in line! "

Terri's Analysis:

1. Based upon the average number of families logged in and waiting for referrals over the last 5 months, I would have hoped to see a referral within 7 months.
2. However, the current pace/trend indicates a BIG slow down. Realistically, I do not expect to see my daughter’s referral for another 17 months.
3. January 2006 & February 2006 have fewer families logged in waiting for referrals. So, there is hope that my 3/27/06 LID & referral batch will arrive sooner rather than later.

I trust God's plan completely.

I think we should all get t-shirts that say "Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst."

Big hugs,
