My guess is anywhere from the 1-7 Oct! Other than August, CCAA seem to send referrals out in the first week of each month? My guess is anywhere from the 1-7 Oct!

How ironic that a baby girl was abandoned in the brand new Bird's Nest stadium during the Paralympics... http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5irsfN3vsp30QPgrUAOaYSuEKHD-w Well, China keeps on insisting that abandonments are down.

Does anyone have a guess how far out they may give referrals this next time? I'm so excited I just can't stand it after almost 3 years. Also, thank you so much for all of the work you do. A couple of years ago, I didn't like your projections because they were so long, but it turned out to be probably very accurate.

Many families get together on this holiday, and often travel to do so. Similar to the US observance of Thanksgiving, where we, for the most part, take a weekend to celebrate. Chinese New Year is a two week event, and most offices are either closed entirely or working on skeleton crews or shortened hours. I don't know that we can attribute anything to historical evidence of CCAA's operation during holidays, as you just never know. I have seen them do a big push just prior to a holiday to get a bit ahead so when they come back they are not dealing with work that has piled up, and then again, I have seen them either slow down or shut down entirely regardless of the delays in processing.

A question: we have been told that since the beginning of Feb 2006 was Chinese New Year, there should not be LIDs for the first two weeks of Feb, yet there were...can you shed any light on this??? Thanks for all that you do...our agency has refused to give any input on when referrals might be coming...without your analysis and consistent posts we would be so unnerved at this point in the process.

Our LID is 3/27/06. I am an avid fan of yours! I log on sever times a day and I so much appreciate all of the hard work you do. The Moon Festival is Sunday September 14th this year. My hope is the CCAA will only be closed (if they close) a few days. Can anyone recall how many days they closed last year? Lets make a few moon cakes and get back to work!!! I have been looking over the February 2006 calendar. It looks like to me if we take out the weekends, February only has 13 more days to refer out. Am I crazy or does this make sense? We are all ready and waiting NOT so patiently. www.ourchinaangel.com This is my first post, I am so excited!!!! Our LID is 3/27/06. I am an avid fan of yours!
