Travel Meeting Scheduled

On April 10th we received an email from our agency saying it was time to schedule our travel meeting. The travel meeting will address what to expect during the trip, how to facilitate bonding, what will happen each day while in China , how to make travel arrangements for our trip, discuss paperwork to bring/do ahead, shots, packing tips, etc. The agency suggested several days and asked all the families which one was best. May 12th was selected which unfortunately is one of the worst days of the year to take off with the board of trustee's meeting and graduation. Thankfully, my boss was supportive when I told her I would need off that day.

I am looking forward to this meeting because it will answer lots of questions but also mean we are one step closer to Sophia. The agency expects that we will get our referral late May or early to mid June. Pray for the end of May date. This waiting is incredibly hard.

Referrals for part of June group



The news came today for the families with log in dates up to June 6th.

It is so nice to see the excitement on the June yahoo listserv. While it is not us getting referrals, people I have been on-line with for almost a year are getting theirs. It just makes it all the more real. We hope that our referral will be in the next batch which will come towards the end of May. I will be following the rumor mill very closely next time. I don't know where the people get their information from but they predicted the June 6th cut off as early as 4/20, almost a week before the official word was out.
