Hopeless

I used the China Referral forecast calculator and this is what it came up with...

Our prediction for LID 2006-09-29
China has 191 days of dossiers to be processed before they get to your dossier. China currently processes about 3.1 days of dossiers each month.

Our best guess: 2013-04-17

Since China generally sends out referrals in a batch about once per month, your referral date could easily vary +/- one month depending on whether you just get included or just get missed in a particular batch.
About 4 more years....???????...

I'm so sad....

Counting the days

RQ gave a great post about visually helping kids understand the days before our referral. She mentioned using items in a jar like marbles or pennies or something that you could put a large amount in. After a referral date is posted by CCA* , then take out that number of days that were matched.
I think a jar would be really helpful for ME, too!

Here is our calculation of "days" left in line:
It is 192 days from the start date March 22, 2006 (the latest match date) to the end date (Sept. 29, 2006 -our LID date), end date included.

Or 6 months, 8 days including the end date

Alternative time units
192 days can be converted to one of these units:
16,588,800 seconds
276,480 minutes
4608 hours
27 weeks (rounded down)
