WE'RE IN THE 240'S!

The official announcment just arrived:
America World is excited to announce that we received 19 healthy referrals today! Families had log in dates of 11/22/05 & 11/24/05. The girls are from the Guangxi & Jiangxi provinces & ranged in age from 6 months to 11 1/2 months. Please join us as we congratulate each of these families!

Jason and I are beyond excited! These two log in dates represent groups 239, and yes, FINALLY, group 240! This means only 3 more groups to go and then it will be our turn! (As if I haven't said it 3000 times, we are group 244). So the big question is, when? If the referrals keep coming as they have the past 3 months, I think the earliest referral date would be November (fly in Dec/Jan), the latest would be January (fly Feb/Mar). In the meantime, we are celebrating like crazy as we've been waiting for a long time to be this close!

Thank you to those of you who have shared in our excitement today. It's truly frightening to think how I'll be acting when it really is our turn! Also, congratulations to our friends the Peltons, who we met way back when at our adoption class at Adoption and Beyond. Here is their website if you are interested: http://www.freewebs.com/peltonadoption/. We can't wait to meet Makenna!

Have a great night!

Love,
Leila's family
