So it's official, the CCAA updated it's website and it says they've completed referrals for those families before June 6th. Do you suppose that means the 6th isn't included? In other words did they process 3 or 4 days (not including the weekend of course)? In any case, there you have it another month where they didn't even complete an entire week. Oh happy day!
I give. They've won. I'm throwing my hands in the air and calling "uncle". It's not going to happen in 12 months. I have 15 more days until they get to my LID and I think at best I can expect my referral in July. I hate to be dismal, but I don't see a shift in time frames. To be frank at this point I'm hoping I get a referral.
And if one more Dewdrop Girl asks me if in 20 years I want to remember this time as unhappy and angst ridden and I should be honored and happy, Buddhist or not, pacifist or not, I will come unglued and beat the ever living crap out of them. Let it be written, let it be so.
Ya, it sounds like things are suckin'.

That really sucks, Stephanie. What is the deal? Don't know who to believe, what to think. I actually had my first major freak out day last week. It wasn't pretty.
Umm...what is a Dewdrop Girl?
Posted by: Shelli | April 25, 2006 at 09:53 AM
Yup'er. I'm with you I'll be happy just to get a referral. By my calculations a whole whopping 4 families will get referrals from my agency. Chin up...have a glass of chard and hunker down for another month. See you in Guangzhou.

Call me pollyanna, but i think you're next (as in may.) RQ's analysis looks pretty solid to me for a third-week-of-june cutoff.
Yeah, the 4 business days thing would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. what are they smokin?
p.s. you KNOW dewdrop girl has several kids at home already -- they always do.

This news just blows! I know I shouldn't let my hopes get up but damn, I was hoping for at least a whole week this time. Can you even believe we all would be thrilled with two weeks at this point? I am so over this wait. I am so tired of people telling me to enjoy this time and I won't remember how difficult it was....yeah right. I remember waiting for my sons. I remember how painful it was to wait and know your child is just sitting there without you and there is not one damn thing you can do about it. I am never going to forget the wait then or now. It's hard, it test every fiber of your being and then add these fanatics that will say it is perfectly time....well it is enough to make a girl snap. SNAP I say!
Hang in there girl! You are so close now. It sucks and I hate it for you.

Another month that my agency didn't receive ANY referrals. None, nada, zip. Who's the idiot that said you should remember this time as good?
