A few stats and a little bit of blues

August will mark the 4th anniversary of my LID.

There are 3+ months, or 75 days, of possible LIDs before mine still waiting for referral. The most recent referrals were for dossiers on or before: April 26, 2006.

I've completed my 3rd Homestudy: my 3rd I-171H will expire this fall.

I turn another year older in 2 days.

I went into the nursery today and for the first time, found cobwebs on the baby clothes in the closet.

Could everyone put in a good word with their personal higher power and get this thing moving!?

Get out there are light some candles.

Thanks,

H1N1 Flu Epidemic

There have been conflicting reports that the CCAA has stopped matching, sending referrals, and sending travel authorizations due to the flu epidemic.

Nothing confirmed, but referrals are very overdue.

Latest stats from the CCAA

That's the China Center 0f Adoption Affairs, to all you novices.

A batch of referrals came through yesterday, for families whose dossiers were received on or before March 8, 2006.

That's a 37-month wait. And I am faaaaaaaarther down the line.

An Update on the CCAA

It's been awhile since I posted the progress stats from the CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs).

Currently the CCAA has reviewed all the dossiers that were submitted on or before October 31, 2006. Good news for us; my dossier has been reviewed and the CCAA didn't have any questions about my information.

More importantly, the CCAA has matched families and given referrals to prospective adoptive parents whose dossiers were submitted on or before January 4, 2006. Bad news for us, as that means the wait time has stretched to 26-27 months.

My dossier submittal date: August 10, 2006.

It is likely that my wait will be 36 months or longer.
