April referrals came last week, covering Log in Dates (LIDs) March 7 and March 8, 2006. Congratulations to all families who now wait to travel to their new children!
There are 43 days left to refer until our LID of 4/20/06 is reached. The current 12-month rate of referral is 4.83 days per referral batch, which come about once per month. If this rate remains unchanged we can expect our referral in January 2010. This is significant because it reflects our wait from current time to expected referral actually shrinking slightly after 3 years of expansion.
As for our concurrent adoption attempt, we have put a limit on our patience and if nothing happens in the next few weeks, we'll be ending it. I'll let you all know what happens - and what was going on. Right now I'm thinking perhaps this fell into our laps last year to be a distraction from the long China wait.

Amazing, an actual "speed up"? hard to say that when it's actually just less of a "slow down"...I have heard that April is much smaller than March 2006....fingers crossed that it's sooner than Jan 2010...I know how gruesome the wait is and I know that for those behind me, it is just getting worse and worse. big hugs to you.
