Referrals

Yeah!! 2 CHI families got referrals for little boys today -- 9 mos & 6 wk. Both healthy! Also, found out from program director that the slow going of late has been due to the fact that the lower courts (county courts) shut down 1 month before the state/federal courts did for the rainy season. The county courts provide the background information for the referrals -- so when they are closed it makes referrals difficult.
So -- happy day for those families who saw their beautiful boys for the first time today.
Happy day for those families moving higher up on the list.
Happy day for us -- our dossier will be in-country AFTER the courts re-open and should not be effected by the rainy-season delays.

I was so oxcited to see some referrasls finally. I was getting quite concerned since there had not been any since early July and usually they come every couple weeks and often times in large groups.
