A Long-Awaited Day Arrives for Ten Children's Hope China Families!

Children's Hope received 10 China referrals today! The 10 beautiful little girls are from the Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Liaoning provinces. Nine of the girls range in age from 6½ to 13 months; one toddler girl, just over 3 ½ years old, was referred to a St. Louis family. When her parents were presented her referral, they said, “We are thrilled; she is so beautiful!”

These families waited 23 long months from the day China entered their paperwork in December 2005. Our Chinese expedited family waited 14 months. These families will travel to China to finalize their Chinese adoptions in approximately 8 weeks.

This group of referrals were for Children’s Hope families with log-in-dates 12/1/05 through 12/8/05. Congratulations to these families and all our China families who have moved up in line!
