We are Moving!

Referrals came out the end of February for families up to LID of 6/9/2006.  Although FTIA didn’t have any families in this group, the good news is that they covered a whole week of LID dates!

A new shared list also came out, but it was a very small list and we had no successful matches.  We have been able to match another one of our Jing Yi children this week!  No word yet on when we will be receiving more files for this program.

This week we received 4 TAs and 1 PA!  We have 4 families preparing to travel to China to meet their new children on March 16^th. 

Best wishes for these families!
