Comments on: Skipping months http://chinaadopttalk.com/2006/10/31/skipping-months/ Join the Rumor Queen as she looks for the latest rumors and then analyzes them, trying to figure out what the CCAA will do next.

I've never asked to whom our agency (a different one) for daughters #1 and #2 spoke whenever they called CCAA. I assume each agency has its assigned contact person there on staff, or maybe one in Review and one in Matching? So I'm wondering whether there is a PR person at CCAA? Or do agencies just rely on their contacts? I'm just thinking that a CCAA PR person could easily be a full-time job...and then maybe agencies and families wouldn't feel so left out of the loop in times like this. I'm not trying to tell CCAA what to do, I'm just curious about the communication.

November was only skipped at my agency. We had referrals on October 3 and not again until December 8. I thought I had been recording every CCAA batch, but I must have been following only my agency at this time last year. Okay, sorry to cause confusion. November was only skipped at my agency.

I just posted this on the previous NSN TAS, but I would like everyone to know: My agency says there is a package from DHL in the mail for them and they will have by Thursday! While they can't 100% guarantee it is referrals, they can't imagine it would be anything else... Great news!

Hmmm. The wait is, at least, providing me with a plethora of pictures that I can use whenever I update my site. Manicure, anyone??? :-) TG-

I had been hoping with the last 2 batches arriving around the same time the last two months, that the CCAA was trying to speed up the time interval between referrals and therefore help decrease somewhat the ever expanding wait. I had also been hoping that they could try to keep to some sort of schedule. When the referral time interval increases, the rumors increase and I was hoping that they had seen this and were trying to bring a little continuity to offset their disdain for the rumor mill. So much for these hopes. I should have known better. I realize that the time between referrals is about 30 days on average and can increase up to 38 days between referrals.

Maybe we will get 2 batches of referrals in Nov or Dec. Under RQ site navigation RQ started the chart with 11/29/05 referrals and it was followed by 12/07/05 and 12/30/05.
