Congratulations to all those families who are in this group. We also believe we are as our LID 20.03.06 although patiently awaiting confirmation. Are there any other families within the UK in this group of referrals. I know of only one other at the moment.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! to all the families who will be seeing their babies’ faces in the next few hours or days!! You’ve all waited so, so long. Enjoy these moments, the next few weeks are going to speed past!!
To the large group of 3/21 families who likely just missed the cut off, big hugs. Your day is coming soon. Just a little longer and your babies will be here.
I LOVE REFERRAL DAYS!!!!

Has anyone in the US received calls yet? I’ve been bugging my agency because I won’t believe it until they have the paperwork in their hands. I can’t concentrate on work at all. I’m just way too excited! I can’t believe I might see her little face soon.
Congratulations to everyone who is in this batch!!

Congratulations to all the families seeing their sweet little one’s face soon! There’s nothing like it!
June 19th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
My DH and I just received our TA for July; it was an apparent surprise to our agency that they got TA’s. My DH and I accepted a SN, beautiful little girl from Fujian province. Her name will be Bethany Grace Chenglu. Sorry no blog, not that savvy yet.
Congratulations to All!!!
June 19th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
It’s looking like the cut off is the 20th.
Considering they should have done two months worth of referrals this time, that really blows, numbers wise.
But, we’ll talk about that later. Today is for celebrating the families that are finally seeing their child’s face for the first time. Congrats to all who are included in this batch!!!!

It just means that if someone is looking at the blogs while at work, they should know that the blog has music and they may want to mute the sound on their computer before going to the blog.
I’ve received permission from my friend to list her blog, but she hasn’t received the call yet…. once she has pictures on her blog, I will share!
June 20th, 2009 at 11:22 am
We don’t have a blog but we do have a daughter! She turned 11 months old yesterday and is in Jiangxi. With an original LID of 3/7, I was beyond depressed yesterday — until the call came last evening, out of the blue!
Congratulations to everyone with referrals, and many hugs to those waiting in this long, long line — I know how hard it is to be inching along so slowly, but your day will come!
June 20th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I do not have a website, but I got the call from my U.S. West coast agency late Friday afternoon. LID was 3/15/06 so no big surprise, just lots and lots of tears! I’ve got a little peanut, just under one years old. Today, I kiss the RQ ring. This blog has been invaluable, particularly the information posted over the past 48 hours to help prepare me for the moment. My best to you all,
June 20th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
congradulations everyone my lid is sept 19th 2007
June 21st, 2009 at 10:32 pm
congrats to all who will see those lovely faces.
I was wondering if anyone would know the cut off date yet? Does anyone think that with the June 2007 files out of review, will we see bigger day?
Lets hope we will.
Thank you to everyone who is on here and that share. I feel the support from many for this long wait that we aree have…

Congratulations to all that received news and to everyone else…Keep the Faith!!!
