China Waiting Children

America World wanted to thank families for their advocacy and prayer efforts for the 4 referrals whose files were potentially being returned to the CCAA on October 31st. We are excited to announce that Andrew and Jonathon have families! Additionally Abigal’s file is under review. Please join us in praise and thanksgiving for these updates! Sadly, at this time Ben’s file is not being pursued by a family. We ask for prayers for God’s plan for his life.

In addition to families pursuing these adoptions, 6 families have submitted acceptances for shared referrals over this past week. The CCAA recently referred a new group of shared and America World referrals. To learn more about the America World referrals and to view their photos and biographies please go to the link:  http://www.awaa.org/waitingchildren/china/ and contact your Family Coordinator for the password.
