Referrals for April 11, 2006 LIDs

After 3 MORE months of waiting, we get a new email from Great Wall about the next batch of referrals. This means, in the past 3 months, Log-in-Dates advanced only 2 weeks. Just devastating.
-----------------------------------------

Good Afternoon,

Today we received referrals for families whose dossiers were logged in on April 11, 2006 and for a few of our expedited families. The CCAA has not released a cutoff date yet, but as soon as they do, we will let you know.

Right now, we are working as quickly as we can to bring these families their referral! We ask for your patience as our response time to your phone calls and emails may be a little delayed.

We thank ALL of you for your continued patience and support!

Sincerely,

Great Wall China Adoption

South Padre Island Vacation 2009

We recently had a vacation in South Padre Island with Marc's parents followed by Dianne's twin brother and sister-in-law, Nick and Roxanne. We love Padre! We didn't bring our camera to Padre Schlitterbahn, but that was great too.
