***an update from our adoption agency***

We received a letter from our adoption agency, Heartsent Adoptions, Inc., this week with an update on the status of our case:

". . . Your case is currently processing in China as follows: It is currently taking 15-18 months from the time your dossier is logged in at CCAA to the time of referral. We will keep you posted on any significant changes that may arise. Let's hope for speedy news!"

So, it is official - the wait has grown to at least 15-18 months. From what we understand, this is due to an influx of dossiers for prospective parents. Specifically, we are told that the CCAA has received TWICE as many dossiers than they did last year. This explains the trend lately of taking two to three months to fulfill referrals for one month of LIDS (dossiers).

In light of this new "official" information, we would like to propose a little game - a prediction game. You know our LID (log-in-date) is JUNE 6, 2006. Using the timeframe as stated and the knowledge that it is taking about 2-3 months to finish 1 month of LIDS, please make your best prediction for when we may receive our referral. There might even be a prize for the winner - especially if you can figure out a way to make it come faster!

Let's just all hope that it comes before the Beijing Olympics 2008!
