I just received this email and a phone call from our family coordinator. So you understand the email, "Concurrent family building" is doing two adoptions or one adoption/pregnancy at the same time. Basically this email means that they think we are going to be able to proceed with both adoptions at the same time. They want us to wait another week before sending our paperwork to immigration, but it looks like we will be able to move forward on the waiting list while we celebrate our May baby. Awesome!
Dear China Families,
I am writing to thank you for your continued patience and trust with us on the issue of moving forward on concurrent family building. America World has continue to advocate on this issue with the CCAA over the last few weeks and are pleased to announce that the CCAA has posted a favorable response regarding their policy on concurrent family building.
At this time we are happy to announce that America World will now again be accepting concurrent family building applications. We will continue to clarify the interpretation of this policy with the CCAA throughout next week. Once we have received confirmation on the interpretation of this policy, we will begin the process of reviewing concurrent family building applications and contacting families.
Please feel free to contact your family coordinator with any questions. Questions pertaining to the interpretation of this policy will be answered next week once we have confirmation from the CCAA.
Again thank you for your patience as you waited on a decision from the CCAA. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,
Anna M. Graham
Asia Program Director

This is glorious news!!! One of my favorite poets, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, once wrote, "God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame."
I love her thought, but I think it's a human take on Ephesians 3:20. Anyway, I can't wait to see how God is going to weave this all together for you, in His time. I am thrilled for all of you! It truly is a gift from God!

Quote for you that I'm not sure I've shared before!!
" We grow by dreams... Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, bnurse them through bad days till they flourish, bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."

So very happy for you!
You mentioned in a previous blog entry that you would be writing more about adoption since this is adoption awareness month. I heard about a really good adoption resource today on Moody radio's Midday Connection. Here it is: www.cryoftheorphan.org
The speaker on the program was Andy Leman (not sure if I spelled his last name correctly) from Life International, an organization that helps couples with the financial aspects of adoption. I believe there is a link to him on www.middayconnection.org
Hope this might help anyone who is looking for resources. :)
