These are the stats for babies placed for international adoption over the last 5 years from China. I had a feeling that the numbers were declining but it is a lot more drastic than I thought. There are many theories floating around on why the huge decline in referrals...I have my own theories but I think I will keep them to myself. My poor husband has heard enough of my ranting and raving about this. The bottom-line is there are still WAY too many orphans in China...too many treasures that need their families! BUT China has the right to refer as many babies as they see fit...sadly, they are referring less and less :( BUT even if only one more comes home...that's one less baby that will cry herself to sleep...one less baby who will wonder 'who will love me?'...one less baby without hope.
Sooo, I'm going to rejoice that China's IA program is still open and is still allowing these sweet gifts to come home to their forever families! Albeit they are coming home super stupid slow BUT they are STILL COMING HOME and that is a miracle worth praising our Lord for!!!

Wow, I have not seen those stats. Heartbreaking really. A friend called me today and asked if I had heard any news 'cause she knows that I stay connected to the adoption world. I,too know that there are way too many babies waiting on their forever families and it makes me so sad. I told her that God has called her to this and that she needs to hang on for the ride. My prayer today is that those that are "called" to China, will hang on to that promise. We need to rally and pray for miracles.
You can vent to me! I know how frustrated you feel! It breaks my heart.
Wow, those are sad stats!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! You have a beautiful family too and you can vent to me anytime!!
Those #'s get me so worked up and I just dont get it.
I know God always has a plan but i wonder??
When we were there last summer my daughters orphanage was totally full to the max!! All those babies need forever families!!!
boggles the mind, doesn't it.
Thank God for the little ones who have made it hom ein the last 2 years. CHOSEN would be putting it mildly.
I'm with you Stac...
I just don't get it either!
Praise the Lord for every one that comes home!
Yes this is very depressing, I wholeheartedly agree. I am a bio, adoption, and foster mom. All combined to seven kiddos.
Truly heartbreaking....
I keep praying for Jesus to bring down the walls that keep these precious little ones from coming home to their families....
The enemy is truly at work but our God is able to move mountains!
PRAYING!
