I'd undoubtedly take a kid if one was offered to me but unless you know families are paying $$$ more for quicker referrals, hate the agencies, not the families.

I am so happy for the families getting the referrals. I just received a letter from our agency saying they understand we are frustrated and "they are here for us". I have not called them to see if "being there for us" means they will waive any fees :) Oh well, I am happy for these families, whoever they are.

Our agency fits all the traits you listed- small, strong relationship with china, only works with China, etc and we are not moving any faster than anyone else.

Is the rumor of the April 06 referrals officially dead, or is it still gasping for breath? RQ, is there anything new on this weird interlude?

I just crossed my mind that, perhaps, they might be sending them referrals for dates further out when they don't have LIDs for current referrals so the agencies can collect the remainder of their fees from adoptive parents on a fairly steady basis so they can stay in business until the lull is straightened out. I know it's not standard practice for CCAA to be this cooperative or to care what happens to the agencies, especially if there are too many PAPs in the first place. However, if a particular agency really does have an exceptional relationship with someone(s) at the CCAA, they might be willing to help them out in this manner, right? Not to mention, China wouldn't want there to be an uproar because their international adoptions fell through because of the length of wait causing an agency to close its doors. I would just think they would want to save face in this area as well. --Just a thought.

What state? Big or small agency? Last time this early referral thing happened, a lot of people thought it was the agency we are using. It wasn't. BTW, our LID is 12/20/05.

I do realize that it does make people upset but just remember that maybe your child that you are waiting for is not even born yet. All our times will come when the time is right. We have just finished and sent our paperwork to China and are waiting to get logged in or at least told we are. We have hope that our time will come and that we know that she will be there when it is. The wait will totally be worth it........ As alot have said, congrats to those if this is true.

I would llike to know how this rumor started and how it was worded. Let me guess I know someone yet unnamed that knows someone who knows someones sister brothers wife who is lid april 06. The only other thing I can come up with is they have met all hague requirements and are certified. Do you know how many people I have heard had died then two weeks later they walked in the door at work? If I sound skeptical its because I am. Well I was having a pretty good weekend.
