Five China Families Receive the Gift of Referrals

Today, Children's Hope received referrals for five happy families adopting from China. Each family saw their first pictures and reviewed medical information for their daughter. The girls range in age from 9-10 months, and are from the Jiangxi province.

These referral families all had their adoption paperwork added to the CCAA's database on December 13, 2005. After waiting 24 long months from log-in-date to referral, we expect these families to travel in about 8 weeks. Congratulations!
