To ease my mind

If you read my last post this is good news, sort of. This is straight from CCAI(our agency). So we can scratch rumor #1 off of our list, at least for now. In the meantime, I will still be addicted to the insearchofrumors blog which gets 17,000 hits a day.

From CCAI: Dear CCAI Waiting Families,

Spring greetings from Josh and Lily! As an agency that values open and honest communication, we want to share with you our thought on the recent referral slow down.

As a result of “more-dossiers-than-children” at the CCAA, the child match wait in recent months has lengthened. While fluctuations in the timeline are a normal part of international adoption, there is no doubt that this delay has created anxiety, uncertainty and frustration among our families. As adoptive parents ourselves, we understand and empathize with you completely. Honestly, we don’t know how long the delay will last this time or how it will impact your individual situation. However, we have been assured repeatedly by the CCAA that China adoption will continue for many years to come. We know for certain, after participating in this up and down journey with more than 6,600 families, that you will one day be united with the child you are dreaming of. “When” is the question, not “if.”

We will keep you informed of all verifiable information we receive directly from the CCAA. As we have always said to you, please feel free to write or call us at any time. Our “open ears” and understanding hearts are always available to you.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you. We truly appreciate your trust and support.

Yours,

Josh and Lily
