Referrals

This was posted on the CCAA web-site:

"The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were logged in with our office before August 9, 2005."

This means the CCAA has mailed out referrals for the July 23, 2005 through August 9, 2005 log in dates.

Our LID is 9/13/05. So, there are 35 days until our LID. We're getting closer!

"The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office between July 14 and July 22, 2005." (this was posted on the CCAA web-site)

This is disapointing that they only did 9 days. I hope things pick up. The CCAA office moved a month ago, so I am hoping they will hire more people to help speed up the amount of referrals they send out. Our LID (log in date) is 9/13/05. This means people with LID's from July 23 - September 12 are ahead of us. When we started the adoption process they use to process one whole months worth of LID's each month. That's why we were told when we started the wait time of referral was 6 months after LID. Since January of this year they have slowed down by only referring a few weeks to only one week each month.

So, if they go back to processing a month at a time. We could get our referral as soon as the end of October.... which I really doubt.... but it is possible. My guess is we will get our referral in December and travel in February. I hate to even guess anymore. Only time will tell.
