CHINA PROGRAM UPDATES
This past month saw a record number of completed dossiers sent
to China, 115. Congratulations to all the families as they
completed their dossiers for submission under the current China
requirements! Almost all of our families with the desire and
capability to submit before the deadline met this goal. This is
an amazing accomplishment! Those that were unable to do so are
currently selecting from optional Children’s Hope country
programs.
Referrals: Children's Hope received one Chinese expedited
referral last week, for a family requesting either a boy or
girl. This family is surprised to learn they will soon parent a
14-month-old son from the Shangdong Province. We expect the
family to travel in about 8 weeks to complete their China
adoption process. Congratulations! The CCAA did refer for two
log in dates 10/25/05 and 10/26/05 on April 9. While Children’s
Hope did not have families for either log in date, our 10/27/05
log in date families are first in line for next referrals.
China Travel: Families from our February Chongqing travel group
and five waiting children families arrived home last week, with
the February Guangdong travel group returning next week. The
March referral group and seven waiting children families will
travel in China from May 5-25. Fifty-one
families have completed their Chinese adoption through
Children’s Hope this year. The current waiting time from log in
date until referral is 17-18 months. Congratulations to
you all as you grow as a family!
The Spring Trade Fair 2007 will be from hosted in Guangzhou
April 14th to 30th. China’s Labor Day Holiday is May 1-7. Our
Beijing office expects to work April 28, 29 and 30. Families
traveling during these times will have their travel scheduled
around these events.
