WOOHOOO!
The CCAA has just issued a notice to us of changes in the Waiting Child Program.
Things are going to get better for the children who wait the longest!!
The highlights are as follows:
The children who wait longer than 2 months on the list become Special Focus Children.
These children have more relaxed requirements.
Families now have 6 months instead of 3 to get a dossier together and to the CCAA after matching.
More children will be assigned to individual agency lists per request of the agency.
Families who adopt a Special Focus Child are allowed to adopt TWO children at the same time.
The other child can be healthy or special needs.
The children can be adopted at the same time OR the CCAA will allow the two separate adoptions as long as they occur within 12 months of each other.
AWESOME!!!!!

A SIMPLE QUESTION
My children and I were having lunch after VBS on Monday and the daughter of some Asian friends walked up to me and said, " I bet it is REALLY REALLY hard for you to raise all of these CHINESE kids, huh?"
I thought for a few seconds and replied, " It's not any harder than raising all these WHITE kids."
"Really?", she said.
"Really, Really.",I said.
We both giggled and she continued to chit- chat with the kids until it was time to leave.
Later that evening it occurred to me...It is only "harder" or " different" raising our adopted children- if/when I allow it to be.
Things are better for me and my family when I give us all a break and shelf the "HOW TO RAISE AN ADOPTED CHILD" books and dust off the"DOCTOR SEUSS".
The single most important thing I can do for ALL of my children is ask the LORD to keep me FOCUSED on just being THE MAMA...not The Biological Mother or The Adoptive Mother...just THE MAMA.........
Something the "experts" never bother to mention.
I hope all of your summers are going well.
XOXO
