Since the 21st and 22nd are a weekend with no LID's this doesn't change anything really. It WOULD have been nice to have seen 10 days referred but it wouldn't have changed the numbers referred at ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/06/10/referrals-are-through-120/ So apparently multiple agencies are confirming that January 22, 2006 is the cut off for this month, that is 10 days, although it looks like roughly the same number referrals as last month. But that is good- IF (and that is a BIG IF), they keep on like they are ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/06/06/rumors-are-in/ ...or better yet, where are the referrals!!!! This month has been strangely quiet, the only things out there are that there should be more days this month then last, and that matching has begun (maybe finished). It sounds like part of the CCAA has been directed to assist with earthquake ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/06/04/where-are-the-rumors/ I wanted to post this video. I have really enjoyed this song recently and heard it again just moments after I read the news in my previous post about his daughter being killed, and brought me a couple tears. This song is about taking the time with your children, because ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/05/22/a-steven-curtis-chapman-video/ This morning it is being reported that the youngest daughter of Steven Curtis Chapman has be killed in an accident. You can read the news article here. Apparently Maria (5 years old) was playing in the driveway and one of her brothers accidentally ran her over. What a horrible horrible ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/05/22/sad-news/ Please keep my mother in law in your prayers. She had open heart surgery about a week and a half ago and was doing really well. They moved her to a step down unit and she started going down hill, developing complications, within a couple days. They moved her back ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/05/06/prayers-needed/ Well, another small month of referrals have been confirmed. Apparently the CCAA internal website has changed to show the official cut off as 1/9/06. This is a disappointing 5 day batch. I think with the Olympics right around the corner, however, the next several referral cycles are going very nerve ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/04/07/referrals-through-jan-9-2006/ We have tried eating with chopsticks several times over the years and I have always gotten too frustrated after a few minutes and went to the fork, swearing that one day I should go on the chopstick diet. This would be a great diet for me because I know I ... http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/03/16/chopsticks/ I love this video and the story that surrounds it. Steven wrote this for his daughter that was adopted from China- actually Steven has a couple daughters adopted from China, but I am pretty sure this was written for his first one. It is heart warming. [youtube]demRHgul2Zk[/youtube] http://www.thewynn.net/adoptblog/2008/03/03/a-great-steven-curtis-champman-video/
