Three month differece...not that long. TG and I are with the same agency. In this last batch, there were some as young as 6 months!!!! Yikes! and as old as over 3 years. No logic. TG and G_of _TG- good luck and PLEASE post from China. We, Auggie Remainders, are right behind you. Laureen FWIW,

This was during the time of 2 months of LIDs to one month of referrals. In our group from Hunan, all the girls' birthdays were within 4-5 weeks of each other, in fact i think we had 3 first brithdays while we were there. PT Pam C, TG, et al,

I don't think the age of the referral picture means anything.

RQ - do those numbers (1500) sound like they could be true?

They can only match 1500. So (according to my agency) if there are only 1300 babies paper ready that month than only 1300 would be matched. There is no rollover from one month to the next. If there were 1700 babies paper ready, still only 1500 of them would be allowed to be matched. I'm wondering 1) if this is true and 2) if it IS true are some of the after 9/8 people who got referrals "accidents" in that there were more babies paper ready than the 1500 allowed for this month and they weren't supposed to be sent until NEXT month's batch of 1500. Hopefully I worded that to make sense. Just a thought. My agency (small multi country) mentioned in their last email that the CCAA has a cap on how many adoptions they are allowed to do per month.
