17 Months LID

We have been logged in at CCAA and waiting for referral for 17 months. When we started the process the wait was 8-10 months. The families currently receiving referrals were logged in 21-22 months. The wait continues to grow and our wait will continue to stretch further into the future. Our current guess is that we will receive referral Sometime between fall 2008 and spring 2009 - a guess based on pace of referrals over the past year. Obviously this is not an easy thing to wrap our minds around, considering there are many children in Chinese orphanages waiting for families.
