When???

Hi - thought I'd try to answer that age-old question tonight! When can we expect our referral? There is a site called China Adoption Forecast that has predicted that we will see our referral on January 25, 2008. The Rumor Queen put a chart on her site today that breaks it down by the number of days that the CCAA may refer every month.

So, if the CCAA refers about ____ days, then we can see our referral around this date:

About 18 days per month - referral around December, 2007
About 15 days per month - referral around January, 2008
About 12 days per month - referral around March, 2008
About 9 days per month - referral around May/June, 2008
About 7 days per month - referral around September, 2008
About 5 days per month - referral around February/March, 2009

According to RQ, the 12-month average for number of days referred is 12. The last three referral batches have been incredibly small, but I hope that they will get through a few more days in the next few months. It could be this time next year before we travel...it would be nice to be in and out of China before the Summer Olympics.
