Rumor has it that matching has begun, which means the next batch of referrals will soon be here. It's a longshot that our LID of 2/27/06 will be in, but stranger things have happened! By the way, have you ever wondered how ladybugs came to symbolize China adoption? You see them on everything from blogs to adoption announcements, on jewelry and baby clothes. Although ladybugs represent good luck in many cultures, it seems that several years ago in China, as the international adoption programs were beginning to take off, there was a fall season where the ladybug population grew unusually large. This was thought to be a lucky charm for those that were adopting, so now whenever ladybugs are seen, it is said that more beautiful children are being referred to their waiting parents and families.
