Our Referral

On Monday, November 19th, 2007, we received a call from Great Wall China Adoption Agency informing us that we had received a referral for a baby girl born in Chongquing, China on February 24, 2007. The baby girl, Jiang Xuelian, was born with a unilateral cleft lip cleft palate and had her lip repaired in July.

We just completed our Home Study for the pending adoption and will send it with our I 600-A form to Homeland Security, which should take between 2-3 months to process. This must be done in order to adopt internationally. Once our application is accepted, we will be able to send our dossier to China. Then, the Chinese Government for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) will hopefully accept our petition to adopt Mary Kate. And, we will finally travel to China!
