The latest updates

The rollercoaster continues. The latest referrals were for LID up to December 19th, 2005. This was another small batch. Remember I am a Sept 2006 LID.
There is HUGE concern over what is happening with the IA program in China.
People want to know but there doesn't seem to be much information given. This is when the rumors and speculation is high. People need to figure out what is going on and many people have ideas.
I have been bouncing around to check out some.
The Olympics is probably a factor. Speculation is that China is planning on minimizing some of the IA program because image.
There are other rumors that they will only be through Feb 2006 at the end of 2008. Again, this is a tough one- drawing out a lot of emotions on all grounds.
I am going to have to trust this is the path I am meant to take.

This is part of my daily prayers & readings:

"May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. (this is really hard on some days)....
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love....."

We are renewing our paperwork. All of our doctors reports were good & we are now waiting for the home study update. This should take us into 2009.

As for the Olympics, I'd say it's THE factor, not A factor... I am almost 99% convinced of this. 09 will see a speed up... my gut is telling me this anyway.

I don't know what to say. I know my agency was very hopeful that I would continue to conduct workshops for them. But the truth of the matter is that I can't in good faith tell prospective families 24 months from LID when we all know that that is a far cry from reality. I was there once too and I know how dishearted I was about the whole dame process. No one tells you a damn thing....
