Calling All Hands

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU THAT SENT LETTERS--WE ARE REGISTERED!
CNA worked diligently morning to night all weekend. We think they are going to be able to register all cases before the end of the day today.
HOW TO HELP...
The CNA is now using the new laws, misinterpreting Article 57 to include those cases that Article 56 clearly states should be Grandfathered. The CNA has delayed the registration of 2000+ cases. If these cases are not registered by February 12, 2008, they will not be considered registered and therefore no Grandfather rights. The adopting families would have to begin proceedings again (losing any rights to the children they have been matched up with for months). The CNA would be then responsible for searching for the ideal family for the child, and give priority requests from local families.
