Another agency chimes in
A European agency is saying that the cut off is the 21st and that they have been mailed.
I may change my mind later today, but for now I’m giving this one an R3½.

I’m just overwhelmed! It doesn’t seem possible that it will finally be our turn!
I better go to the salon and get rid of these roots. If this pans out, we’ll be doing a lot of picture taking and video-taking very soon.
Fingers crossed, hoping, hoping…

While I wish it was more, at least it is still on track with the projected 4 months to get through November (1 week per month). I am really glad this was projected many months ago because I am prepared for it.
Our agency says that things should pick up after November 05 is done being referred. I hope they are right.

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! They are on the way! I’m so excited. To think I will be looking at my baby’s face very, very soon makes me tear up. Oh, I wish my referral would hurry up and get here. I’m hoping to get my referrel before the weekend. RQ, do you think that’s possible? Please say, “YES”.
I’M NEXT!!! :o) :o) :o)

It’s just my way of displacing all this anxious energy. Personal grooming is very soothing :). Some people quilt, I groom. Sometimes I embroider… I could shop, but DH has begged me not to!
August 1st, 2007 at 8:41 am
Rosie!
I say get the roots done, buy a new outfit (plus the shoes), and heck, eat some chocolate! You’re about to about to be a new MOMMY! That’s huge! You deserve it after this long wait! Congrats!!!!!

Hey Ladies,
Maybe we can all go together and get a group discount!!

Hey Rosie, I’m with you, I’d get those roots done for sure. You want to look your best for that new baby, and everyone else you’ll meet. Everyone deserves a little pampering. Once you get that baby those times will become less and less! Congradulation to all those getting there referrals. I am hoping to see our referral in August. LID Nov 28, 05

Rosie:
Get your roots done!
You owe absolutely NOBODY an explanation or justification!
I had mine done yesterday, too. So, there - ENJOY, girl!
August 1st, 2007 at 9:04 am
You guys have waited so long - I am so happy for you all!
Congratulations!!!!!! Can’t wait to see those adorable faces!

Oh ya bye the way Rosie, I quilt, ride a motorcycle, waterski and get my hair done. It has helped keeping me sane through all this wait. Enjoy!

Great job RQ…I believe we will see referrals by Friday (day 28)..this would be 4 weeks to the date of the July referals…Hopefully the cut-off is the 21…I will miss it by two days..but strangely I don’t mind at all…because then I will know for sure that I am IN next month…
August 1st, 2007 at 9:38 am

Kinda’ reminds me of an compliment (I’m happy for you’) wrapped in an insult ‘Isn’t this supposed to be all about the children?)?
Sorry don’t mean to flame your post, but we’re all individual and if this one wants to get her roots done, then so be it.
August 1st, 2007 at 10:25 am
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Kalohr! - Happy B-day!!!!!!!! That would be awesome!
Mine was this month, my mom’s was yesterday and my grandpa and FIL is this weekend. We had a lot of chances here and I hope it hit’s someones b-day out there b/c it looks like it’s going to miss everyone in my family daggoneit!

I just got my roots done….Now you have me estimating how many more times I’ll be getting my roots done before MY referral comes. Lets see…If I get them done every 8 weeks and my LID is 4/06…hummmm. LOL
Bring on those referrals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 1st, 2007 at 11:00 am
My fingers are all crossed for your referals!!!!
We were in your shoes one year ago August and i can still feel the excitement!!
Good luck!!!

August 1st, 2007 at 11:10 am
Thanks twOH! I’d love our referral as a b-day gift–the best one EVER!! Even if it arrives on Friday, I’ll still count is a ‘late’ present. :)
My anti-spam word is diapers–ha! I’ve never wanted to change a diaper so badly as I do now!!
Waiting 20 months and 30 days…tomorrow is 21 months exactly. Come on referrals!!

Our (Europe) agency have just updated their homepage and they say that they expect children for their LID 22/11/05. They hope to deliever the happy news to the lucky parents-to-be within the next couple of days.
I have my fingers crossed for all of you.

When we received our referral last Sept 2006, I immediately called and made my appt for my hair. You know I had to look good for my baby girl and the Chinese people. LOL I received a gift certificate for a pedicure for Christmas and still haven’t been able to go. Our DD keeps me busy, busy~ and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Congrats to all who are about to see their child’s face for the first time. I love this time of the month.
August 1st, 2007 at 11:33 am
kalohr - Absolutley! A late present has never felt so good eh???
I am holding off on celebrating mom’s b-day…I’m sure she’s wondering why she only got a happy b-day phone call! Won’t she be surprised?!

August 1st, 2007 at 11:38 am
TheVoiceofReason….I think BabyDreamer was being sarcastic, trying to be funny! That is why they added the “: )” to their remark…….that’s how I interpreted it anyhow….
Congrats congrats congrats to all of you who are seeing those angelic faces soon!!!!!!!!! I am living vicariously through you with my April 06 LID!
August 1st, 2007 at 11:38 am
wait a minute…it looks like mysmys’ agency is reporting a cut off of the 22nd? could this be correct???
August 1st, 2007 at 11:41 am
Spicygirl04,
I noticed the 11/22 date as well. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this was correct??!!?? We know 11/22 is a large day so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
August 1st, 2007 at 11:44 am
That took me by surprise too. Could 11/22 be included, how wonderful would that be?? mysmy, can you clarify?
I took the comment on the roots as friendly, not to worry…
August 1st, 2007 at 11:45 am
Yes, emmalinesmom it would be wonderful given that the 22nd is a big day for LID’s. Keeping my fingers crossed…
August 1st, 2007 at 11:46 am
mysmys - is your agency usually correct in predicting referral dates at this stage? this is my first post so likely two messages will come out as I try to get it right.

Get your roots done, Rosie! I had mine done last week. I’m having a pedicure tonight and I’m spending the afternoon at the beach with DD followed by some Moo Time ice cream!
Happy Birthday, Kalohr!
