We were notified that there would be an "important message" from our adoption agency (CCAI) posted on their website today at 4 pm. Well I was so excited, I just knew they were going to tell us when we could expect to be matched with our daugther. But you know how "pollyannaish" I can be. It was a nice message :) just restating that they are here for us during this wait to give us support any way they can. But they still can't predict how long we should expect to wait. Right now there are 30,000 dossiers in China waiting to be matched with a baby. Of course, most of those are behind me (I hope). All they have to do is refer babies to all the families with LIDs in December 05, January 06, February 06 & March 06 and then it is our turn with and LID of 4/3/06. They said they are referring about 700 babies per month. A few weeks ago my adoption agency said we should expect a referral between April 08 - October 08. I'm hoping that it won't be any later than October 08. I've also heard rumors that once the wait hits 24 months, which it has, it will stay at that. Well that would mean a referral in April 08 (24 months from April 06). I can always hope & dream :) I know God has this all timed out, I must trust in his perfect timing for this. I know of other parents that have waited a lot longer than Don and I to have kids, so we should feel blessed that we haven't gone through 10+ years of trying to have kids. I just wish I was a couple years younger!!!

Hi welcome to blogger. My LID is 4/25/06. I added you to my blog list of fellow April LIDers. I pray also that our wait will shorter. I just don't know.

CCAI told me the same. Expect our referral at the end of next year (I am April 24 06 LID). I think the next two referral batches will tell us if there is indeed a speed up or not! Hang in there!
