one half, one third or one quarter?

Today we have been waiting on the list in China for six months. It has actually gone by very fast.

Since we started this process, the wait time for families to receive a child has gotten longer and longer. To be exact, for every month we wait, the wait time gets a month longer - effectively leaving us going nowhere (even on the slow boat).

At this point, your guess is as good as the rest - we have heard that it could take from a year to even two years to receive our referral. That means that we are either half way to our girl, a third of the way to our girl or maybe even only a quarter of the way to our girl.

In the meantime, here is a rundown of where things stand right now:
Our LID (Log In Date) - June 6, 2006
Families currently in "Review Room" - Files received in February 2006
Families receiving Referrals from "Matching Room" - Files received through September 8, 2006

Current Wait Time - 15 months and growing . . .

FYI - The "Review Room" is where your file goes after it is logged in. The China Center of Adoption Affairs must review and approve your file before it is sent to the "Matching Room" where they will match you with a waiting child. Hopefully, we will reach the "Review Room" soon and will be approved, this will be the next milestone, and then bring on the "Matching Room"!

[everyone think good thoughts] and we will just go out tonight and enjoy our childfree lifestyle for just a little longer!
