Washington Post article about special needs adoptions
Below is a link to a Washington Post article detailing the rise of special needs adoptions. It will be very helpful for those who raise the query: Where are all the healthy infants in China? I thought China was loaded with adoptable little girls?"

News about paperwok
A note from our agency~
You are receiving this email because your family that was presented with a BJ Camp referral for consideration but are awaiting the official referral from the CCAA.
We thank you and your families for patience during these last few weeks. We just received word that the referrals have been completed by the orphanage, approved by the Provincial offices and are now on their way to the CCAA. The CCAA will process them (translate, format, etc.) and then upload them to the CCAA portal to send to me. Once I receive them, I will email them to each of you immediately. We recognize your families may be quite anxious to see the official information and proceed with their WC 2 acceptance.
"Quite anxious?" That is the understatement of the year!!!
One more step to my little "Sophie Girl."
Thank you, Lord Jesus!

A Day of Prayer for Lucy
Day of prayer for Lucy ( I can't post her picture...sorry!)
The outcry for Lucy has been awesome. But ASIA is still looking for a family who already has their paperwork done to step forward and claim Lucy has their forever daughter.
Lucy’s best chance to survive is to come home and have lifesaving open-heart surgery with a mommy and daddy to support and care for her. Lucy has a long road ahead of her. She may even need a heart transplant.
Lucy needs a miracle.
I cannot stand by and do nothing for this child. Like so many others, though, we are not in a position to adopt again right now. But I can pray for her. I can pray for a family to step forward.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we as a community could come together and cover Lucy with prayer for 24 hours? Wouldn’t it be amazing to see what God can do through this child?
Honestly, I don’t know how God will answer our prayers. I don’t know how Lucy’s life will end up. But what I do know is God will not turn his back on Lucy. She is not alone. While we may not understand it, her life has a purpose.
Will you join me on your knees in prayer for Lucy? Will you pray:
That a family will step forward and claim her as their daughter? Will you pray that once the family submits their letter of intent that China and the United States will expedite all their paperwork and they can hold Lucy in record time?
Will you pray for peace for this extraordinary family? Will you pray that even though Lucy has significant medical challenges ahead of her that they will find strength and support they never imagined.
Will you pray for Lucy? Pray she remains strong. Pray she can hold on for just a little while longer until her mommy and daddy find her.
The 24 hour prayer chain for Lucy will be on Thursday, March 18 starting at 6:00 am and will end on Friday at 6:00 am. If you can commit just one hour of your time, please list it in the comment section of the blog. Please list the hour you’ll be praying and where you’re from. I hope people all around the world will pray for Lucy.
Please help to get the word out by reposting this on your blog, yahoo groups, and facebook pages. Please have people link back to my blog (www.1001tears.blogspot.com) to comment, so we can see just how many people love and care for Lucy.
I think God has amazing things in store for this child. Please be a part of it.
