The most recent update from our agency reports that China's computer update from late May is still on-going. We have been told that this computer system conversion will be a welcome update for future paperwork processes related to our adoption. The upgrade, which began in late May, prevented the typical shared referral release the last week of May and also prevented the late June release as well. Any agency specific lists set to be released (our agency is expecting lists from three new orphanage partnerships) have also been delayed until the upgrade is complete. Our agency has been given no time frame as to when the system will function normally. They noted that some approvals through the new system began to arrive in the past couple of weeks. Hopefully this is a great sign that the new system is functioning and shared referrals and agency specific lists will begin very soon.
From our estimations, our agency has received no referrals since early May - about 2 months now. We are hopeful the floodgates of referrals will soon be opened.
In June, we enjoyed a trip to the beach house and visited many tourist spots in the Charleston area. This photo was taken at Boone Hall Plantation - a beautiful hidden treasure in Charleston.
We enjoyed several days on the beach - we had great weather! These photos were taken during a late evening walk to see the dolphins feeding. We have an impressive child photographer in our family.
Happy Father's Day!
