Ugh.....I hate bad news.
But....
Rumor is that the CCA* has halted issuing TA's (travel approvals)
and Referrals (non-special needs babies matched with families that have already
waited a loooooonnnngggg time (3+ years).
And I assume that means they won't issue LOA (letters of approval) for
those of us waiting for a special needs child (or in our case, an older child).
*Sigh*
All because of the swine flu. Which thanks to the media, has been blown
completely out of perspective.
36,000 people die a year from the REGULAR seasonal flu.
But because the media loves to just take a story
and make it what THEY want it to be,
one result has been that sweet innocent children won't meet
their forever families as soon as hoped.
Yes precautions need to be taken seriously, yes wash your hands and don't sneeze on anyone...I know, I know.
It is not my intent to minimize the dangers of this very serious illness....just to keep things
in perspective.

Yesterday morning Lucy was watching Ni Hao, Kai-lan and Nicked asked her to move out of the way so he could see (he must have been really desperate for AM entertainment....
And instead of moving.....this is what she did.
