Deflation
Hmmm, shouldn't go and read the "rumor" sites and should stick to what I know. Seems like the speed up is not going to materialize and our wait is back to the former timeframe. Spoke to our agency and they said we shouldn't renew our paperwork until August 2006 is referred, which I estimate around December of this year.
Expecting referral in December 2012 or January 2013.

New Updates
The latest referrals are out and it appears that my referral estimates have been shaken up a bit. I just realized that we are only 12+ months from our referral. By my estimation, we should receive a referral between March 2012 and August 2012. That's about 6 months sooner than I had thought. Looks like we need to start the process of re-newing our paperwork.

Still Here
We've been logged in 1374 days or 3 years, 9 months, 5 days. Our latest guesstimate has us expecting our referral between July 2012 and January 2013. That's only another 731 to 915 days!

3 Years Since Sending Our Dossier to China
Three years ago today our agency mailed our dossier to China and the wait officially began. We didn't know we would still be waiting three years later, but here we are....

2 years and 10 months
We are on pins and needles anticipating our referral for Oliver from Ethiopia. We are so anxious to get the call and see his face. As we approach 4 months of waiting for our referral from Ethiopia I am reminded that we can wait and wait with this adoption. We are approaching 3 years of waiting-- 2 years, and 10 months as of today for Emma Claire. It reminds me we can endure as we are doing for Emma Claire.

A Speed Up?
Ok, so its been a while since I posted--5 months to be exact. A rumor is gaining momentum in the China adoption community---that there will be a speed up---more referrals in 2009 than in 2008.
I will take notice of this new rumor but I am not banking on it. Right now the CCAA has referred through March 6, 2006. We still have 225 referral days ahead of us.
I think at the minimum we have another 1.5 years to wait. In the next few months we will need to prepare to begin our 1-800 paperwork. Hopefully by the time we file the USCIS will be a little faster in processing this documentation.
