UPDATE...RUMORS

Egads. There are so many of them out there and so many of them are RIDICULOUS! And of course most are followed by some bit of information saying that this HAS to be true because blah, blah, blah.

Just to share a few...

1) The September files have already been reviewed as well and are in The Matching Room.

2) CCAA is trying to slow things down so that you must wait a year from the time your file is logged in.

3) The next batch of referrals will come out in the next week or so and will still not include all of May.

4) The next batch of referrals will come out in the next week or so and will include the first part of June.

5) The number of dossiers received by CCAA in May of 2005, and also June of 2005, were three times more than what they usually receive. This is why things have slowed so drastically.

Ok, and this really isn't a rumor but just so you have some idea...when we were called and told that our LID was entered incorrectly Chris said that the folks at CCAA weren't really in a hurry to "get in there", meaning the computer system, and change the LID's on 1200 files. Now, I took that to mean that there were 600 files for August 25th, and 600 more for September 5th. In any case, that's 1200 people just for THOSE TWO DATES ALONE waiting for a baby from China. NOW do you see why it takes so long? ")

UPDATE...ADOPTION

This is official and straight from the CCAA's website:

The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before August 31, 2005.

The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before May 25, 2005.

What does this mean? It means that if our first LID of August 25, 2005 has been reinstated, then our file has been reviewed and found to be OK! It has moved into The Matching Room where once it is our turn, we will be matched with Claire. If we are still going with our second LID, which was September 5th, then our file is still in The Review Room where files are reviewed to make sure they are complete. If there are any questions about any of the information, our agency will be contacted to clarify whatever needs clarified. In any case, at least we are getting closer!

What else does this mean? Well, it means that things are moving painfully slow. The CCAA is still working on matching people with LID's from May of 2005. They'll need to match the rest of May, June, July, and probably August before they get to us.
