- Several agencies are now saying August 23rd
- Tater is saying August 24th
- Another European agency is saying August 28th
|
The change here is that a few more agencies have now said the cut-off is 8/23 and I’m starting to be afraid that it’s going to be 8/23. But, for now I’m moving them all to an r3 because everything is so conflicting. Normally anything from Tater gets an r4 at least, but this month is just too screwey.

Please not 8/23! I am trying very hard to be patient believing that means a few more days or so, but if it means another month and then all this wait again for a referral, I am not sure I can handle that! PLEASE at least finish 8/24!

I’m saying my prayers. Just remember, everything happens for a reason- even if we don’t understand why! Remember that the babies will be perfect for each of our families- and we just have to wait for the right timing (someone save this for me when I’m at the brink of my referral….).

My heart just sank. I am just so overwhelmed right now. This has been crazy. It almost feels like a curse to have an 8/24 LID.
Just some confirmation on anything right now would help. I don’t want to even think that the date is going to be 8/23 but if it is what a downer that will be.

Possitive thoughts to all of our friends in this community, …24th and beyond!

to all logged in 8/23-28 i am thinking of you all..last month we were in your shoes with an LID 8.11.05 we felt so let down when the referrals were cut off TWO days before us..TWO
Da** days, it was hard but such a relief to know that we were next for sure…reguardless of the waiting i have a really good feeling that once we see Chloe’s referral picture, the wait will be washed from my mind…just waiting on a better day!!!

If they don’t get through 8/24, then 8/26 LID may not even be a sure November referral. I might just have a melt down.
I can live without making it this month, but 24, 25, and 26 are pretty big days to get them all, not to mention the rest of Aug.
I sure hope we get at least the 24th this time.

My heart is sinking. I’m still BELIEVE’N, but I just don’t think I’m prepared for another month…yes, I know, “it’s just another month”…but…HELP!

ADE: I hope you’re way off on your thinking. We’re login aug 31/05 and have our hearts set on November. I do realize that If they don’t get through aug24, it’s going to be a very unpredictable set of referrals in November. I really wish we could say “we’re next” for sure…

Thanks for the well wishes and prayers. Today was just such a bad day! I woke up with a migraine (I have had for days now) so I went in to work late and went straight to the Chapel for convocation. I had to stand at the back and ask students to be quiet and scan their IDs for credit at the end so I put my purse down behind a chair at the back and when I was finished scanning it was gone! stealing In CHAPEL! I thought for sure it was a mistake and someone was being helpful, but no such luck. There was no cash- which probably ticked them off–but my cell phone ($150 to replace), my new car key ($200 to replace), and work pager ($100 to replace). I have no ID- no license- no card to go to ATM. My office key was in there so they had to rekey everything since I have confidential documents. And most disturbing– they have a key to my house and the address on the license and a key to my car so I put it in the garage, but they could take it from work.
So I apologize to all my fellow 8/24ers. It is my fault that we have had the longest wait in history! Sorry for the bad luck! Still hoping and praying that things will turn around!
October 25th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
gnanna,
You aren’t bad luck. This just means you are due some good news!! Maybe this will bring on our referrals!! You certainly deserve it!!!

Well, I know for certain that our agency is getting referrals for their 8/24 folks. They have no one LID between 8/1 and 8/23 and they have confirmed that two referrals are on the way. They had two August 24 LID’s. And as far as I know, their LID’s have not been moved. I will reconfirm that LID thing in the morning.
October 25th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
Gnanna – Oh what a horrible feeling!!! I’m so sorry. You just “never know” about people. Unbelievable….
Ok, back to the whining about the wait and wait and wait….
October 25th, 2006 at 8:29 pm
Thanks everyone! And phoebesmom–thanks for the hope! I like your info and I think I will just concentrate on that! Did your agency say WHEN?
October 25th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
gnanna,
I’m sending positive vibes your way! A couple of years ago, I had my purse stolen while overseas. My passport was in my room at the hotel, so that was o.k., but I did lose my keys, phone, wallet (bank cards, credit cards, i.d. , ssn# , etc.), and new cosmetics! It is such a violating feeling to have someone have so much of who you are. I understand what you are going through!
Best wishes and happy thoughts are being sent your way! :-)))
October 25th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
I sure hope we see an update on the CCAA site tonight. This misery must end soon!

October 25th, 2006 at 8:52 pm
I really feel for all of the August folks. I’m here at the laptop, actually working, but refreshing any and all sites that could provide an update.

I have heared the same thing that (phoebesmom said) and it will be next week..
October 25th, 2006 at 9:00 pm
gnanna-You poor thing! What an awful day. Maybe since they didn’t find any money, they might dump the purse somewhere. That happened to me once. I hope your week improves. You are certainly due some good karma.
October 25th, 2006 at 9:02 pm
Gnanna-
I am thinking of you!!! What an awful day. You are truly due some good news!
What a roller coaster ride. I love roller coasters but I can’t wait to get off of this one! Have we ever had a month with so much conflicting information?
October 25th, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Gnanna, I was thinking the same thing as Coartney. Maybe, they will dump it cuz they just wanted cash. Could you put word out at the chapel, no questions asked..you just want the purse. It wouldn’t hurt, just a thought. May you have a peaceful evening. jfk
October 25th, 2006 at 9:10 pm
Gnanna: I don’t know if there’s any way to protect your car at work… but check it out & be careful. My bro-in-law had his keys & car stolen while he was inside working on a fixer-upper house. The next day the guy came and stole their other car from in front of their house!!!
October 25th, 2006 at 9:15 pm
Hi Givemegrace:
Our log in is close to yours, 12/6/05. Maybe we will be traveling at the same time.
October 25th, 2006 at 9:15 pm
I’m so tired of this…
October 25th, 2006 at 9:16 pm
How do I PM or e-mail RQ?
October 25th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
gnanna: Sorry about your purse. Uggh, I’ve had my ID stolen before and it really sucks. Make sure you cancel whatever needs to be cancelled!
My heart sank too about the 23rd. I know there were never any guarantees the CCAA would get past that date, but I was really hoping. I guess, if the 23rd is in fact the cut-off, I will have learned my lesson about getting my hopes up.
I just feel like, if there’s no progress, I’ll definitely be waiting until Spring 2008 for a referral.

I am struggling to find words of comfort for all of you on the fence… but I don’t know them. I can only imagine the anxiety you all must feel! Soon you’ll see your daughters’ face and this misery will all fade… until then hang in there the best you can.
me… I’m still paperchasing.
October 25th, 2006 at 9:21 pm
Hi Jackie:
We are expecting, at least at this rate to go by Aug-Oct next year. that would put you in Spring 2008 since your lid is 6 months from ours. We thought we would be there and back by now!

I’m so amazed at some of you who are so far away yet… standing vigil with the Aug LID’s. Thanks for the support…

Happy Hour -
Knowing your daughter is so close to being in your arms. Makes my daughter seem more real. This process is incredibly difficult but it is also soooo amazing. I’m thinking of you all and eagerly awaiting to share in your happiness (even if it’s not this month like we hope).
… did I mention I’m still paperchasing… ugh!
October 25th, 2006 at 9:37 pm
Gnanna, you are not bad luck…. bless your heart, I am so sorry, when it rains it pours. Hang in there. I will say a prayer for you tonight…
October 25th, 2006 at 9:52 pm
I have to echo Happy Hour’s sentiments. It is amazing to me that so many of you (some even in the paper chasing stage) are staying with us through this.
On behalf of all of us August ‘05 LIDers, THANK YOU!!!

RQ, please forgive me – just trying to lighten eveyone up. We are all obssessed and need to laugh….. So what can we chat about for a while.. The World Series is rained out and I swore I wouldn’t stand vigil on this site, but alas, her I am!!
October 25th, 2006 at 10:12 pm
Having survived the wait, I know what everyone is going through but also know that there is not much I can say to help those still waiting. But I will share a few thoughts starting with the op 3 things people said during my wait that drove me absolutely nuts:
1. Once you have your daughter you will forget all about the wait.
2. Just relax and enjoy your last days/weeks/months before parenthood (and that was from our agency).
3. Your daughter just isnt ready for you yet.
Now I know these do work for some, but even the first one doesn’t really hold true for me after the fact. Yes it is hard to imagine having a different daughter than we do now but I don’t think it would be wrong to say I still would have rather waited 6 months less even if it meant I had a different daughter today.
I guess what I am saying is I think it is ok to feel frustrated, annoyed, angry even. There is a lot about this process that could be improved with so little effort that would make the wait so much more bearable for everyone.
Hang in there everyone.
October 25th, 2006 at 10:15 pm
I feel like I did while pregnant… “How are you feeling” “are you still here (work?)” I wanted to scream… None of you will know whether or not I went outside and did!!
October 25th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
Good Luck everyone! I am going to bed. I hope that wonderful things happen to all who are waiting ( referrals begin to arrive ), while I sleep!

Where is TG?
October 26th, 2006 at 7:23 am
I think it is obvious what is going on this time. I bet they have switched gears and are going according to DTC dates rather than LID dates. (Or more accurately the day they signed for the FED EX, etc package) That would explain why we are hearing so many different dates for the cut off.
What we need is for all the people who have been told the cut off is XXX we need to know when that group of dossiers were mailed.
We have two groups of people from our agency whose dossiers went to China 12AUG and 26AUG but both have a 9SEP LID. I have a feeling they will end up being split into two groups at referral.
RQ can we get some data of this. How far are we according to DTC dates. Have we made it to AUGUST if we go by DTC dates?
October 26th, 2006 at 10:17 am
I don’t think they could possibly be going to DTC dates. That would be a major change in policy and would be met with a huge backlash for people with upcoming LIDs. Besides the fact that we have conflicting information (which happens almost every month) what would indicate they are going to DTC dates?
