Notice the Changes?

Yes! My LID date is 03.29.07!

Meanwhile in the internet-sphere, rumors of referals have produced the sounds of crickets chirping. The Rumor Queen is pretty much MIA... has this site lost it's reliability?

The other rumor (which has no reliability rating) is that this batch doesn't finish October. If it doesn't, it does not bode well for my wait. It could stretch to three years... which is not good. As much as I'm all for the "wait=more $ saved", three years may be a bit too long. Which brings me to the question, is that why the CCAA is stretching it out? I know that Oct./Nov. 05 are huge referral months, but I have to ask why exactly it takes so long to match a child. It would seem to be a rather simple process - and one that could be made a lot simpler if they really wanted to reduce the backlog. This whole idea of matching based on personality/birth date/zodiac sign seems a bit sketchy. Adoptive parents will find a connection some how, no matter what. I've seen people associate child's birthday with "the day we decided to adopt" (information not included in the dossier), so "it was meant to be". Please, pick a folder, slap a photo on it and put in the out box. Like we're going to say no.
