Rumor has it that referrals may get through January 22nd. That's 10 days and sounds WAY too good to be true. Wouldn't it be great though??!! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's really hard not to be excited. On the Rumor Queen forum there is someone with a January 22nd LID that is saying her agency told them they should have a referral by next week. I find it strange that an agency would make these types of promises before referrals actually get here...I know my agency doesn't do this AT ALL. No promises...no way, no how.
On another note, I was flipping through my pocket calendar today and realized that I hadn't written in our LIDversaries for the rest of this year. I got to August 17th and found myself writing 30 months...that's 2.5 years! At that point my eyes filled with tears and I just couldn't go any further. Who would have ever imagined it would take this long. September through December will have to just stay blank for now.
I also wanted to mention that I got to meet a local mom, Ronda, her youngest son, and her beautiful daughter Ella yesterday for lunch. Ella has been home for six months and turned four years old while they were in China. Ronda, I really enjoyed meeting you and your little ones and hearing all about your China trip experience. Ella is such a happy and friendly little girl and I can tell that she's a perfect fit for your family. I don't know how China does it, but they always seem to get it just right.
Well, everyone...keep those fingers and toes crossed for that 10 day referral batch. It's just the thing we need to lift our spirits right now.

This month's batch is going to go through the 22nd...I said this about 2 1/2 weeks ago.. and it is starting to come true.
I am excited..
Sounds like you had a wonderful time with Ronda and her family..
Have a Great Weekend..
Have you done anymore on Lauren's room???
I am trying so hard not to get excited, but o gosh! I just wish the batch would get here!!!
It really does sound as if it is finally a good batch. I really hope for all you waiting parents - and especially you guys - that it is!
I stumbled across your blog a month ago and wanted you to know I check in now and again hoping to see your baby in your arms. I know it will happen for you!
Hubby and I just completed an adoption, this time we adopted through the state-Texas that is. We are now parents of two girls ages 10 months and 2 years old. We applied for foster to adopt so the total process was fourteen months. Next we would like to try China so I am very interested in your journey.
Best of luck to you!
Wouldn't that be just the best...more than a week to cross off your calender!
Keeping my fingers crossed to for that 10 day batch. We all need it!
Wouldn't it be fabulous to mark another 10 days off your sidebar calendar?!! You'd be LESS THAN A MONTH away! (in logged in days, of course, not months til you actually receive your referral:(
I also wanted to add, that your Mum is gorgeous. She always leaves me the loveliest comments on my blog!
We don't have anything left to cross! :)
I hope we get confirmation SOON on the cutoff. Off the record (not by our agency) I've been told the 22nd is the magic number. I wouldn't be surprised to see RQ move it to R4 or R5 sometime today!

fingers and toes!

Wow! 10 days would be almost 1/3 of the days until your LID!!! I am so excited for you! I am getting all teary just thinking about it! I will be haunting your blog waiting to see how many days they really get through! Hopefully it is just the beginning of a trend of really batches for the next several months!

I am sure hoping that referrals are to the 22nd. We need some good news. It's still aways from our LID but it sure would be good progress. Here's hoping for a big batch. Krista
I really hope it is the 22nd. I have so many bloggy friends who deserve some good news!!!!!!!
I am predicting October referral for you - so close! It has been a long wait!
Happy dreaming for your daughter!
