April referrals are here! Families logged in January 5 through 9, 2006 are seeing their children for the first time this week! Congratulations to all of you on this happy occasion!
Only 102 LID dates to be matched until our turn! Referrals continue to come about once a month, with an average number number of LID dates referred seems to be 6-7 per month. If referrals continue at this rate, we are 15-17 months away from our referral - July-September 2009.
While we're disappointed that it's still going to be a while before we are parents and we seem to be creeping further away from referral instead of closer, we are taking full advantage of this time as promised. We're getting in better shape, doing a few extra home improvement projects, booked a great vacation, and we're enjoying our couple time. I'm also learning Chinese and learning how to sew with my new machine. Soon, I'll start re-reading all of those adoption and attachment books again - it's been 2+ years since I've looked at it and will need a refresher pre-referral. The wait goes on!
