China Waiting Children
America World is eager to announce that over the past six weeks, 45 families have submitted their Electronic Acceptances for children from the shared CCAA website! Congratulations to all! Additionally, we would like to congratulate the families who have moved forward to adopt America World assigned referrals. A special congratulations goes out to the families moving forward to adopt Chase and Noah! The following children have families pending: Dylan, Liam, Cole, Piper, and Jack! Please join us in praising our God for bringing families forward for these children.
In other exciting news, Madeline and Henry, who are also America World referrals, are also currently under review with families. Our prayers are with these families as they review the referrals and seek God’s discernment for their family in that process. Additionally, Dylan turned 9 in July. We wish him a happy birthday and are thankful he has a family pending for his adoption!
