Nineteen months and counting

We've officially made it to nineteen months since our LID. Wow! Things are moving at a snails pace in the world of China adoptions right now.

The CCAA, China Center of Adoption Affairs, has stated that they expect the wait to grow to three years. I feel for those people behind us in line because it looks like the line is going to be moving slower and slower as time goes on.

Right now, I'm pretty confident in thinking that our referral will come in September, but sure that we'll be referred by October. There are only 13 days before us so an average of five days per month gets us a referral in September. An average of four days get us there in October.

Five Days per month

July 8 - refer through Nov 12
Aug 9 - refer through Nov 17
Sept 10 - refer through Nov 22
Oct 12 - refer through Nov 27

Four Days per month

July 8 - refer through Nov 11
Aug 9 - refer through Nov 15
Sept 10 - refer through Nov 19
Oct 12 - refer through Nov 23
