Waiting for Micalee...: Un-friggin-believable!!!

This Morning in China

This morning in China a mother cries
She’ll never forget her daughter’s eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
The tears run down like falling rain
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.

This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race
Someone passing by has heard her soft moan
She’s soon quickly taken to a foster home
It’s there she’ll reside in the care of another
Until she’s adopted by a brand new mother.

That very same moment, in the U.S.A.
A women cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
“Dear Jesus I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China ‘til I make my way
And then in my arms forever she’ll stay”.

Un-friggin-believable!!!

I really thought this would be the day I would be posting here that referrals where on the way, but instead, here's the latest rumor! Apparently, the CCAA will be holding off on sending referrals due to the Swine Flu outbreak! We haven't heard it officially from our agency yet, but the Rumor Queen is reporting that CCAA has informed a European & a Canadian agency that they will postpone sending referrals or travel approval for 20 - 30 days and then reevaluate the situation. I certainly hope this is merely a rumor, with little to no truth, but I have feeling we have just been bumped by the Swine Flu! I'm in shock & numb! I hope to give an update soon!

Not sure if this is reason to be optimistic or just an indication that they aren't yet in the loop. Just when we thought we were in the home stretch...We just can't catch a break!; April 29, 2009 at 6:27 PM
Linda and David said...: Thanks, Jenn! I hope we hear more from our agency today! This is just killing me! Off to work & hope I come home to better news today!; April 30, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Robert and Amy Robinson said...: Hey Linda,
Its Amy Robinson from Shreveport, this is unbelievable, just when we thought we were finally on the home stretch this has to happen, we are waiting on our TA and nothing from our agency except they expect referrals and TA's soon. I just wish we had concrete information one way or the other. Hope your referral comes soon.; April 30, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Jenn said...: Well, so much for the high hopes! We'll feel differently one day soon, I'm sure- but right now it seems that we are the unluckiest folks alive... Hang in there!; May 4, 2009 at 11:27 AM
