If so, I wonder how this will effect the polls. Just wondering how news like this effects the drop out ratio. I know we talked about this before, but it wasn't under a two year drastic wait rumor.

We were told 6-8 mos for referral as well. Based upon all available info I expect we will receive a referral in Oct 2007 (20 months)--travel around Christmas. This is not my worst case scenario --that would be 24 mos or Feb 2008 referral. My best guess is slightly less optimistic than RQ's chart from a few days ago had shown--of course she has clearly stated that the chart was not necessarily that accurate. To the poster above who told everyone to wait and see if these rumors are confirmed, I think you're absolutely right. They were having a meeting, right? Maybe these were just things that were considered as options? Of course, the fact that there is a date --May 2007-- on it does tend to give it some added weight. If everything else is satisfied, why would a high school grad be required? Does a GED work? Plus, that education requirement seems very US centered--that would be 12 yrs of education in the US -- I'm sure the education system of other countries is different re: secondary school.

I have adopted through the SN program 3 times now. the wait for TA has been from 2 to 5,5 months these past years. Most of the SN are not minor anymore. For example: most of the time the CCAA does not consider missing fingers a SN. Neither are corrected SN. But if you are willing to adopt a cleft affected child or a child with missing limbs, the SN program will work for you 3tsmom Says:

I´m going to hang on the every little hope I have left that it´s not true. I have already been waiting with all my papers ready for 2 years and still have a few months off before I could even send my papers to China due to the 8% quota. It´s bad enough that the waiting time in China looks to be +2 years (from the 6 months when I signed on) but this! I don´t think I will be able to make it before May 1. I´m crushed. Please let it not be true. But I think it is, it´s unfortunatly the easiest way for CCAA to exlude some people. the singles rumor is horrifying.

This caught my eye because it was Nov. 2005 that CCAA told agencies the wait would lengthen and our agency told us it would be 10-12 mos (and of course it has continued to lengthen). The wait is now 15-16 mos (as of tomorrow our wait is 15 mos) so even if CCAA finishes Sept. this month and takes 2 mos to get through Oct-Jan. end of Jan. will have a 19 mos wait (is my math correct)? I'm not sure its possible for CCAA to always do one month in only 2 mos. cmc, if I understand your comment correctly you are saying that with a 1/26/06 LID it was a 6-8 mos wait.

Very curious if it's the same one that got the last rumor started... krj have to agree with CWS though Do we know which agency then? Very curious if it’s the same one that got the last rumor started…

I just checked the CCAA's web site, and there doesn't appear to be anything new posted. So far, the rumored new restrictions appear to be emanating from only one agency. A few months ago, I was SO SURE bad news was coming for singles, older parents, moderate-income families, etc., and then Civil Affairs shot down whatever it was the CCAA wanted to change with the regs and it all amounted to nothing. Seems to me this rumor deserves no more than an R1 at this point. Please, don’t anybody have a heart attack before the facts are out.
