TB testing

As many of you may have heard in the news, a family was forced to leave their newly adopted daughter in China due to her positive TB test. TB testing is a new CDC regulation. If a test is positive it does not mean automatically that you child will not be issued a Visa but further tests, chest x-rays etc. would be ordered which could lengthen the adoption process in China. This was the worst case scenario until the recent news reports. However, with many adoptions occurring each month and only 1 major issue, there is no reason to be overly alarmed. Gracie will be tested for TB and receive a thorough physical examination while we are with her in China. Can you join us in praying for Gracie's health?
