Which was the HUGE month that took 6 months to get through? November 05? What % was it of the total at the time? I keep feeling like we're soooo close and yet soooo far away...

When everyone refers to the backlog of dossiers being at 20- 30,000, does that number reflect the number of dossiers at CCAA from just the United States or from the world? thanks!

I keep telling them that it will come when it does. Hoping that it will go a little faster after the olpmoics but have my doubts right now. Email me off line and we can chat as seeing we might travel around the same time. momtwoboys647@yahoo.ca houstonmomof2bios, we are like you and also have children who are always asking when will they get to go to China and get their new sister.

They pulled our file for 5 weeks, so in all likelihood, we're not even in our group of 3/28.......... I like to fantasize that we were mistakenly placed ahead of our group, hehehe....

I have gotten some peace about all of this, for now, and am not as preoccupied with what will happen as I was. My daughter, who just turned 8 and is desperate for a little sister, has likewise gotten some peace about it which is good - her crying about it almost nightly was not really helping matters. What a roller coaster we have gotten on. momtwoboys,

We have been home since Oct. 2005. We are waiting for our other daughter. LID 12/13/06. We are hopeful the wait will decrease, if it continues to increase, we'll just hold on to hope and wait until we're all a "forever family". We are close to 50 and feel as young as ever!

Sometimes it is a greater act of love to know your limitations and chose not to parent. To all those of you that dropped out, my heart goes out to you.

I also do not have a great deal of confidence that there will be a siginificant increase in speed/referrals after the Olympics. It is just a theory, but my husband and I are wondering if this slow down is China's way to fade out of International Adoptions. Our agency continues to solicit business and so they maybe able to stay in business. It has got to be a strain on their finances considering they were not expecting this kind of a wait.

We were told that we would have a 12-15 month wait. What I find frustrating is the lack of honest answers that agencies are willing to give. We will stick with it.
