It's still January so I think I can still say "Happy New Year!." The way things are looking is that we could receive our referral (our good news phone call regarding the match that is made) in Dec/Jan. Currently China is processing about 13 days worth of dossiers every month. In the past they had been processing 30 days for every month. So if they speed up even a little (say 16 days) then we could get our referral in Oct/Nov. If they speed up even more (18), then we could get it in Sept/Oct. And so the story goes. . .
But at this point, we are bracing for the fact that this pace will continue and we probably won't be traveling to China until a little over a year from now.
Any and all prayers you'd like to say on our behalf would be appreciated as we dig in and wait. In the meantime, life is lively at the Fitzpatrick household. I certainly have a lot to keep me occupied and I am grateful for the wondeful family God has blessed me with. Life passes by so swiftly. May I not miss all the joys that life holds in 2007.
