CATCH UP TIME

Ok I have not posted in a while for many reasons. The main one being that I forgot my password and could not get on the site! But I finally got on and we have alot to catch up on.
Referrals have been issued twice since I posted last. on 4/5/07 referrals were sent for those people LID 10/25/05-10/26/05. Yhea you read that right, that would be two days! Thats CRAZY! Here are the excuses for that, there were so many people LID in those two days, there are not enough paper ready babies, they had closed earlier for Chinese New Year........ Whatever! It was a very down time for us all that month. You kinda have to laugh about it now just so you can make it through another month. So that is what we did, we started joking that maybe CCAA would issue one day the next time, because you know October is sooo BIG! Well on 4/30/07 they surprised us by sending out referrals for 10/27/05-11/1/05. What, they made it into November! What a gift from CCAA! And wait, they sent out two batches in one month, Oh happy days! Well dont get excited because you know CCAA was due a vacation so they wanted to get out the May referrals before they took a week off at the first of May. Well at least they sent them out before they went on vacation. Thanks CCAA!
Now we are into the month of November LIDs. And guess what, November is HUGE!!! So who knows when they will even get to those of us who are LID in 2006! Some people are saying it will take 4 months just to get all of November referred. Hey and guess what the last batch doesnt count towards that guess because hey, it was only one day of November.
Now at the present time we are hearing that December, January and February are small months while March is another big month. Luckily we are LID 3/15/06 and the big days seem to be after us. Now who knows what will happen but if I were a guessing kinda person who had charts up at my house and at my office with all the LIDS and referrals on them(can you tell that I have all this at home and at my office) then I would say November will take 4 months June, July, August, & September. December will be done with October and November, January would be done in December and January(looks like someone is hitting the 24 month mark), February would be done in February and March, and March would be done in April, May, June and July! With us most likely getting our referral in May. This sucks in my opinion. But what can we do, nothing but wait. Of course my agency is saying we should get our referral in December-February, I just dont see that happening unless there is a speed up.
There are 134 days left between the last LID that was referred and our LID. If CCAI did 15 days each month it would take 8.9333 months for us to get our referral. So we would get it in February. I just dont see them doing 15 days each month.
Now you ask why the slow down because you said it would only take 6 months to get the referral. Well that is what we were told but I now know the reason that why it suddenly went to such a slow down, you ready....
We got in line! It never fails no matter what line I get in it is going to slow down. So I am now going to apologize to all those people whose life we have put on hold because they are now having to wait in a line to bring their baby home. But here is good news for you, when we are no longer in line it will speed right back up!!! Or just maybe it is not my fault and it has nothing at all to do with our being in line, maybe, just maybe it has something to do with the fact that China is hosting the Olympics in 2008!!! Hmmm, maybe I am on to something!
