Referral Update for June

Our agency has posted that they have referred a total of 25 WC children for the month of June. When I read this I was excited because this was not from the shared list but from the designated lists that they receive. For June there were no children from the shared list. Today many families received their PA's therefore they could announce their referrals. We were very encouraged when we saw the dates of some of the MCC were into 10/07. All of the needs that were referred were all correctable and they were all children under the age of 2. That was great!!!! Each month we get closer and closer. They also record they are still translating and making phone calls so they still must have more children to match.

CCAA is still reviewing February 2007 and then we will be next. We have submitted all the documents and updated pictures we have nothing to do but wait, wait , wait and wait some more. We really want to travel during the winter but since this is in God's hand and not what is our plan we must wait and see. We continue to pray for baby K.

The NSN received referral this week but it was only 3 days I continue to pray for all the families waiting as the wait continues to grow month after month.

Referrals

Since the new WC program has started they place on average 1-2 children per day (yeah!!!!). Our agency has not had a list for months as a result to the shift to the new "shared" list well it finally arrived the week of April 14th they posted more than 100 children. Our agency was able to match and lock 36 children that week. What a blessing to all of those new families. The age of the children were 7 months to 6 years old with the majority of age from 12 to 36 months. The projection is still 10-12 months for referral at this time. I do believe this is their standard answer until they see what CCAA is going to do each month with referrals under the new program.

I have to say after reading many posts from families at our agency were are indeed with the best agency and we have the best group of ladies working to build our families they have to work tirelessly through the night at sometimes matching these children. God love these great ladies. I know I have had the best service and communication with them personally. Look forward to what May has to offer for all the new families.
