Referrals!

Finally, referrals! Following is a note we received today from CHI:

"Children’s Hope International is proud to announce the arrival of 8 referrals for our 02/17/06 LID families. All of the referrals were beautiful little girls from the Jiangxi Province that ranged in age from 8 to 13 months, with one referral being 3 years, 5 months old. The referrals also included one set of twins. The family that received the 3 year old requested 0-18 months though the referral fell with the CCAA age guidelines. These families waited 33 long months from log in date to referral. We expect these families to travel in about 8 weeks. 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 03/02/06."

Here are the CCAA age guidelines. I have no earthly idea how old our child will be when she is referred to us.... could be as old as 3 I assume. I will likely not be 40 yet. Brent will be between 42 and 45.

30-40: 0-18 months

40-45: 12-36 months

45-50: 36 months +
