Adoption Status Update - a hard blow

They've "finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with their office before October 26, 2005." That indicates they were only able to match 2 days worth of dossiers this past month instead of their usual average (over the last year) of 13 days worth. This pattern of a slow down in referrals was seen in previous years right after the Chinese New Year, so maybe we should have foreseen it.

The CCAA hasn't updated the review section of their web page; it still states they've "finished the review of application documents registered [logged in] with their office before March 31, 2006."

Ugh, we've been clinging to the wait time not changing for estimating when we'll get our referral (and thereby hoping before the end of this year), but if we look at the number of days worth of dossiers matched per month's worth of time, we could be waiting another 18 months. So there you have it. I've said it. Poop on a stick.

Sorry to hear that. Double poop on a stick! Think positive, maybe, just maybe, they will try to make up for that slow period, and work really, really hard to get through more cases. Then again this may be a type of Chinese torture, they know they are making alot of anxious people wring their hands. oh, the anticipation! Hang in there (as if you have a choice).
Love you both,
