I think TAs arrive at different times, not all at once. Our groups TAs arrived weeks ago (we got our referral on Jan. 2nd and we leave for China on Valentine’s Day).

Look back on the 23rd. RQ talks about TAs still coming in.

Guys, I am 99 percent sure that TAs arrived earlier this week. Look back a couple of days’ worth of posts.

TA’s often do arrive before referrals, but not always. That’s not a hard and fast rule. And even when they do precede referrals, the amount of time between varies greatly.

As for CCAA sending out referrals before CNY, I’m not sure about that one. I seem to recall hearing that was the case, but if they’re sending them now, I certainly won’t complain and ask them to wait! :) But, perhaps that’s why not too many agencies have reported packages on the way yet. Maybe they haven’t all been shipped, and they will come closer to CNY.

But RQ: isn’t there always something else that is sent out first, before referrals? TAs or something? I didn’t think there were ever referrals without that first??

Another thing: I thought CCAA always sent referrals out last day before their New Year? Isn’t this too early then?

Ahh, “mama” is my anti-spam word today, suits me well!

I wonder if the internet failure that is being reported to affect the middle east and asia is affecting China and teh CCAA online program too?

StrawberryShortcake-
I am so excited for you. Just hearing you talk about packing your suitcase makes my heart jump, for you and for all of us who follow. You’re going to be holding your baby soon!
Don’t worry too much about the diapers. The hotel gift shops have diapers, babyfood, even little scrunchie bands for putting your daughter’s hair up. And the prices are very reasonable.
Enjoy packing!!

Waconda:

Don’t worry. Referrals are definately in the air. Not enough, but coming nonetheless.

Have most people who got referrals in January gotten TA?

Ironically, my anti-spam word?! Diapers…I was wedging those into corners of a suitcase last night! :)
