Here is an update from my agency...

On February 4, 2008, Children's Hope received 11 China referrals.These referrals were for our 12/20/05 log in date families. We didnot receive any Chinese expedited referrals in this group. This groupof referrals included 9 beautiful little girls and 2 handsome littleboys! Both of the families that received boys requested boy or girl in their petition letter. They are from the Gansu, Guangdong, andJilin provinces and Tianjin City. Their ages are 7 to 15 months, one24 months and one 28 months. These families waited 25 long monthsfrom log in date to referral. We expect these families to travel inabout 8 weeks.One family that received the 24 month old boy requested a boy or girl6-12 months old. The family that received the 28 month old girlrequested a 0-12 months old girl but the referral fell within the CCAAage guidelines.This group of referrals began with the 12/20/05 through 12/27/05 login dates. Congratulations to these families and all our Chinafamilies who have moved up in line! Children's Hope International'snext log in date is 1/6/06.We also received seeking confirmation letters (official referrals) for5 waiting children families and pre approvals for 5 waiting childrenfamilies. What a nice way to begin Chinese New Year!Happy Chinese New Year!! Ann
