This notice was released by the CCAA this morning.
Currently there are cases of human infection of the swine flu found in some countries and regions. With the high infectivity of this disease, children are susceptible to it for their low resistance. In order to avoid cross infection during the process of adoption registration and protect the health of children in orphanages as well as the adoptive parents, we hereby announce that:
Adoption agencies are required to counsel the adoptive parents who have received Notice of Coming to China for Adoption to postpone their trip to China for the registration procedure.
The validity period of Notice of Coming to China for Adoption issued between March 1 to April 30 this year is prolonged from three months to five months (There is no need to update the paper).
Adoptive families are advised to follow the arrangement of local registration authorities and cooperate during the entrustment of child for the harmony period and the adoption registration process.
If adoptive parents feel unwell during their stay in China for the registration procedure, they shall go to the hospital for medical checkup in time and report to CCAA about relevant situation.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
So....yet another slow down. We are still expecting that our LSC will arrive this week or next as it has already been mailed out from China...it is probably on someone's desk in Victoria waiting to be stamped. From what we understand the CCAA is still working, so they will be able to process our LSC when we send it back, BUT (lately there is always a but)...they will not issue us Travel Approval to come to China until this whole outbreak is resolved. I am so sad for my friends who have plane tickets and are ready to go get their daughters in three weeks. So close and yet so far! I think I need some chocolate!!!!
I like Crunchie bars.

ya I'd go for the heavy stuff...I've heard those chocolate truffle blizzards are super good..
ReplyDeletefunny to read the chinese english. some of the phrases make enough sense to understand, but it's not the way we would say it!!
so sorry for the delay. in some ways, having this delay at this point is better than two months down the road when tickets are purchased...like your firneds, that would be sooo difficult.
God's timing is perfect and He knows more details than we do. As hard as it is to wait, i know you guys ultimately rest in that knowledge!
