Dear Family and Friends,
Here we are on the roller coaster for the month of August!
About 2 weeks before the China adoption community sees the next batch of referrals, there is a period of time when the rumors start to fly.
Yesterday I was rather distressed to see that the first rumor was that the CCAA was only through November 24, 2005 LIDs. This was upsetting because if true, that would mean there were only 3 days processed for the month! Fortunately, I've learned through months and months of experience that first rumors are usually not very accurate.
Today's news was a bit improved in that it appears some agencies are hearing their November 25 LID families will be included as well. With another week or so of matching to go before referrals are mailed out, this could well take us to close to the end of November!!
Now THAT scares me! After nearly two years of waiting, the thought that I may be part of the "next" group (after September) is almost frightening! You start having second thoughts about things...although I hear this is not unique to adoptive parents and that expecting moms also have moment of panic as their pregnancy comes to its end!
Please don't get your hopes up about an October referral. I really don't expect to hear anything until November. The last few days of November early December 2005 were very busy days for documents being logged in. It's doubtful they will have enough "paper ready" babies to process all those days......
Here's praying He gives me the strength to get through the next 20 years!!
Blessings,
Chinamom
