Referrals for August...

were very disappointing as far as the number of referrals that were sent...It is looking like the CCAA has referred only two days of dossiers...which brings the date up to January 31, 2006 (truly the cut off was January 27, 2006 as the CCAA was closed from January 28 - 31, 2006). Remember, our LID is February 15, 2007 which is still more than a year away from the actual date of referrals that have been referred out (does that make sense?) If the CCAA continues to refer such small batches...how long it is going to take to get to February 15, 2007??

It is sad and frustrating so see these small numbers each month.

It is sad and frustrating to wonder about all the children that are currently waiting for a family.

It is frustrating wondering "Okay...what is going to happen to us between now and referral that is going to stop us from adopting?"

I can say that the tiny ray of sunshine lately is seeing the referral pictures that are now being posted and it reminds you that, yes, if we are willing to wait...no matter how long...we will have Alison in our arms one day.

Congratulations for all the PAP who have received their referrals...we wish you speedy travel to your children.
