Maybe they are going to refer to the 31st and "mercedes 14" will receive her referral before they start on 06? - Where's the shrugging smiley?

We seem to float between the two dates somehow. I am guessing that we are a LID of 12/31/05 now. From what I have been told, if you have to give more information, then they move you to the next month. They indicated that they believed we would hear next month. I am hoping that it means they will make it out of December. I attempted to post earlier with no luck, so if this repeats itself, I apologize. I wish I could explain it better than before.

I get the impression from the correspondence with my agency that since we were moved out of line based on need for more information that it holds you up one month. The new LID is odd to us too. Kinda like we are floating between two dates. I thought the same thing that perhaps they are hoping that they will make it out of December by next month. I have been speculating for over two years now, so we are just hopeful that it is next month with no guarantees. I wish I could explain better as I too still get confused.

Mercedes14, I don't understand what "before 1/1/06 but after 12/31/05" means either. Does it suggest the March cut-off will be Dec 31? Could you explain what it means to you please?? It sounds like very interesting info!! mercedes14 Says:

Really? WOOOPEEEEE, yippee for all those included!!! :-D This is the most hopeful I've felt in months and months and months. With a 3/1/06 LID we now stand a chance of seeing our daughter this year! I so hope they keep up this pace. YAY! Waiting4, They actually said the box has changed?!?!?! Really? WOOOPEEEEE, yippee for all those included!!! :-D

My heart goes out to all those in China especially the children that may not have heat or enough food to eat. Thank you RQ for posting the info about Half the Sky. I am so thankful that HTS is working so hard to bring relief. My fear is that once they get through this bad weather and it starts to warm up, they may have to deal with flooding too. With a January LID my heart aches knowing my child may be in an orphanage that is affected by this weather. Congrats to all who have received referrals.
