Happy New Year!!
2008 Year of the Rat.
CNY is Feb 7th
Well, IF we listen to what the rumors are, We will not be bringing Alison Rose home in 2008.
Please pray for us that we will bring Alison Rose home in 2008.
The rumors are saying that December 2005 referrals will take another 2 months or more to get through. If this is so, We will not see Alison till early in 2009.
It is also a rumor hat China will close down for the two months of the Olympics.
So, if it takes till March o8 to get through Dec 05 referrals, then take two months just to get through Jan 06, then the CCAA will be closed two months for the Olympics, then HOPEFULLY they will start on Feb 06 referrals.
We hope to have a referral by the holidays this time next year. But we aren't getting our hopes up. Our Agency seems to think we will get a referral by this summer/fall. We just don't see that happening at all.
What can we do but sit here and watch our friends and family have babies left and right, while we wait for our little slow boat to China.
Once again, Please keep us in your prayers. This long wait is taking it's tole on Russ and me. You may see a big smile on my face, but inside I am depressed. My thoughts are in China while my body is in Alabama.

Oh Lisa, I pray things speed up. This wait is SO hard; we have to stick together and pray everyday for all our babies to come home soon.
Love,

Lisa,

We pray daily that something changes within the CCAA and that things start to speed up. I believe in my heart that you will have your precious Alison in your arms in 2008.
Love,
