Adoption Update

The latest information is that the next set of referrals are in the mail. The LID that are to be matched are from Nov. 7 - 14th 2005. It seems small but Nov has a large group of people with LID. March 2006 will be large too but hopefully we will see some previous trends in double digit matching soon.

There are 319 more LIDs before us to go. This number came by taking the number of days ahead of our LID 9-29-07 and adding them together:
16 (Nov 2005)+
31 (Dec 2005)+
31 (Jan 2006)+
28 (Feb 2006)+
31 (March 2006)+
30 (April 2006)+
31 (May 2006)+
30 (June 2006)+
31 (July 2006)+
31 (Aug 2006)+
29 (Sept. 2006)
-----------------
319 Days

This number represents all days - there are days included that don't have any LIDs due to holiday or weekend. So we (in the adoption community) hope for a larger span of LID to move us closer to our referral. It is like standing in line.

CCAA (the government agency that has the paperwork) has finished with May 2006 LIDs in the review room. The review room is another double check for making sure all the paperwork is in order and clear for the match room. If there is a problem your adoption agency will be notified and help you correct, clarify or update. Getting out of the review room is a big step in the waiting process- it kind of let you know that that your file was handled and read in China.
