Updates

Here are a few updates:
8 families in China are heading home this week including a family that doubled in size with the adoption of their twin boys.

CCCWA issued "healthy as possible" referrals through dossier LID 9/24/06. Families logged in through the traditional program have over a 6 year wait for referral.

CCCWA posted special needs referrals on Monday night. Congratulations to the families that received referral.
Conditions that we saw during the posting:
ear deformity
hearing loss
growth delay
limb differential
scoliosis

conditions that we normally see but didn't this month:
cleft lip/palate
heart

Families requesting to adopt a girl should be prepared for a 6-12 month wait for referral.
Families open to adopting a boy will have a much shorter wait, usually less than 3 months, often less than 30 days.
