According to the last poll results it would be 152 LIDs to bring us to Jan 23. That seems extremely high given that the last few months only resulted in 102, 79 and 107 LIDs referred (using the last poll). Even with CNY that is a very large difference. I thought that with CNY on 29 Jan 06 it would be the low numbers in early Feb that reflected their slowdown. It seems like 18 or 19 Jan would be more in line with what CCAA has been doing recently.

Cheers to all

I will be jumping up and down and saying wheeee if then nex batch has more than 9 days in it.

Based on last year’s numbers (may to may) the average LID days per month is roughly 5.8 or so.

11 or 12 days would mean that we would be seeing double the average.

Personally, I will just be seeing double.

Dear Shamrock,

I guess the criteria is varying for twins. We have been told by our agency that the criteria is as such: Income/single or combined > $300,000 -taxes, assets over > $1,000,000, committment for over one year LOA in childcare and be childless.

Hope this helps….if in doubt I would asking specifically with your agency and adoption worker…

Hey RQ – Very Pleasantly Surprised by your new projections. Can you shed any light as to how you are getting all the way to the 23rd for June. My Predictions (of course not as scientific – just counting LIDs) would have us at the 19th.

Love to know how you do it (especially with an LID of 1/24) !!

Oh my – mama is my anti spam – this is a first for me!!

i was told yesterday by my agency that. I’ll post it here what she said.

Hi Cindy,
Because so many people started requesting twins, the CCAA put some pretty strict guidelines on who could have twins. One of them is that the family can have no other children at all, even grown children. So unfortunately with your daughter that rules you out.

The other restrictions are age (both parents under 45), income (over $100,000), net worth (over $400,000) and length of marriage. They aren’t specific about what the length of marriage has to be other than “long enough.” Obviously these restrictions ruled out most families! I am surprised that a family received a referral of twins without requesting them. Generally it seems we’ve had more than one family in each LID group requesting them (before new guidelines).

As far as taking you out of line, it would’ve depended on whether your dossier had been reviewed yet or not. Since yours probably hasn’t, you would’ve been okay. If it had, it would’ve slowed you down.

Hope this helps you luvluv.

I have heard of at least one couple that were referred twins and the husband had older kids from a previous marriage.

wow….I am surprised to see the 23rd make it to the Horrid Case for June. (Pleasantly surprised!) I am going to try not to get my hopes up and was freaking out even thinking I would get a referral in July. I am at work and can’t log in to the January room….darn! I may have to run home at lunch so I can check in with my January peeps.
