Swine Flu Blues

There is a rumor floating around that the CCAA is delaying referrals for 20-30 days until the swine flu outbreak can be evaluated. This is especially bad news for those waiting for TAs (travel approvals). They have already waited so long for their LOAs (Letter of Approval) from China, and now may possibly have to wait an extra month!

We don't know if this will delay us or not at this point. The SARS epidemic is the only medical epidemic that we have to compare the swine flu to, and adoptions were still moving forward but at a slower pace. There is some speculation that, although TAs may be delayed, LOAs may not be. We pray that is the case, just so we know that everything is approved and in order with the Chinese government.

As always, we take heart in the fact that God is in control no matter what happens, and His timing is always perfect. Another grounding matter, my grandmother has been rushed to the hospital with what they think may be congestive heart failure. Please pray for my mom and dad, as they have been through so much lately. My mamaw is a wonderful woman, and is much loved by our family.

Will update.............
