This is why we no longer have our hopes up....this is why we no longer get excited over anything dealing with this adoption....this is why we have nothing ready for our baby's arrival...this month's cut off is March 2nd. That means only 2 days were covered. So much for those good rumors.
There are now 12 days in front of us. If the CCAA keeps referring only 2 days per month, we're looking at July '09 for our referral.
Better luck next month.

Updates
eWe're moving right along on the adoption front. We're gathering papers to submit (again) to immigration and we're expecting our social worker for another homestudy update on 1/23. We were actually contacted by our agency last week because they need our phone numbers for when we receive "the call". They were clear to point out they have no idea when we'll be receiving our referral, but we are next for them.
It's also the time of month where referral rumors are beginning and they are excting. (However, we have learned to not get excited and to believe it when we see it.) The rumors are that matching has begun and that this next batch is going to be big. Huge actually. Huge enough where we would be included. If these rumors are true, we will be receiving a call in a week or two telling us about our baby.
This journey has caused us to become cynical, so we're not jumping up and down like you would think we would be. We have to remain guarded and not get our hopes up so that we can function on a daily basis. We'll save the jumping up and down for when we actually hear the phone ringing and not for rumors that it "may" be ringing.
Stay tuned....it's going to be a very interesting month.....

Surprise!
What a great surprise! The CCAA sent out another batch of referrals this month!!!
The cut-off is Feb. 28th and February is now out of our way! March is "on deck". :)
What's this mean for us? There's only 13 days in front of us. If the CCAA continues to refer 5 days per month, we're looking at March for our referral. That's right...March 2009....just three months away. Fingers crossed there will be AT LEAST 5 days in the next batch!
Check out "Our Countdown With Harrah's"....we're next!

6 Days
Referrals started arriving yesterday and this month's cut-off is Feb. 23rd. That means 6 days were referred. We're just excited it was more than two days.
What's this mean for us? There are now 19 days in front of us. If the CCAA continues to refer 6 days per month, we're looking at April 2009 for our referral.
What happened to the speed up that was suppose to happen after the Olympics???

Finally.....
The cut-off was finally announced....Feb. 17th. Only two days. Why it took so long to match only two days? I have no idea, but it is what it is.
What's this mean for us? There are 25 days in front of us. If the CCAA continues to refer only 2 days per month, we're looking at December 2009 for our referral. I need to keep reminding myself this probably will not happen because it's too painful to think about. Better luck next month.

Finally, but confused....
Referrals started arriving this week (FINALLY!), but no one is clear on the cut-off date. It is either Feb. 17th (only 2 days) or Feb. 19th (only 4 days). My fingers are crossed for the 19th, but I'm expecting it to be the 17th. I'll update when we know more.

Feb. 16th
It appears some family with LID's of 2/16/08 received their referral yesterday! This is out of the blue and it's not clear what this means yet. Hopefully all of 2/16/08 [surprisingly] received their referrals and that's another day out of our way. :)
