Other DTC Yahoo Group Websites Adoptive Parents China Yahoo Group China Center for Adoption Affairs (English version) Personal China Adoption Stories	"The 12 Moons" is a spin-off of the Yahoo group DEC2003DTC, originally established in March of 2003. Our members are from Australia, Canada, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, the UK & the USA! We sent adoption applications to China between November of 2003 and January of 2004. We expected to receive our referrals (see our Predictions page) in the late summer or early fall of 2004, but saw our referrals in mid-June and late July! We waited anxiously for our referrals. We had quilt square exchanges, read books, had baby cyber showers, sponsored chlidren through Altrusa and Love Without Boundaries. We shared in each other's joy when we received the referrals of our precious children. We waited anxiously again as we waited to travel to China to be united with our children. Some of us traveled together or met while in China! Continue to support and share with each other as our children grow. Supporting each other NOW as many wait for second, third OR fourth referrals!!
