CCAA has it and it is supposed to be uploaded to shared list "soon". Our facilitator will be watching for his file and try to match us with him if possible. Social worker interprets "soon" to mean in the next month .
- June 27, 2009--Chris and I talk and take the weekend to pray through things. We feel that we must pursue Adrian until God closes the door. We contact Doug and Janice. Our social workekr sends Adrian's information on to our China facilitator. I request that the facilitator find Adrian's file if possible.
