It sounds like some agencies received their referral packets this morning and are making phone calls. So far I’ve seen 3/1 being referred, as people make their announcements please let us know your LID. (UPDATE: latest is now March 2)
If you are expecting a referral in this batch and would like your blog included in the Babies!! post then please list blog name and blog URL in the comments to this post.

wsmith313~Can you remind us when you got your referral? Were you a NY’s Eve referral? Also, when did your LOA arrive at the CCAA? My reason for asking is that my good friend rec’d a referral on NY Eve & is waiting for TA so this would give them & anyone else a good comparible to look at to figure out an estimate of when they might see their TA. Thanks for the info. & CONGRATS!
& Congrats to all of you that are seeing today for the first time your little one’s faces! Bring on the pictures & the details!

My agency received referrals for their expedited families due to Chinese descent with LIDs from March 2007. They did not receive any NSN referrals in this batch. Their next NSN LID is 3/3/06.
LID 3/8/06 (getting so close)
January 22nd, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Well, it sounds like from crespinjourney’s post that it is almost officical…two days. Okay, I am going to try to focus on the fact that at least two more days are gone & can be marked off & maybe just maybe it is that they are hurrying to get one more out before CNY & then we are going to see major batches coming fast & furious soon there after~whatever helps me sleep at night & get through my days, right? I am not trying to be unrealistic or bury my head in the sand, but rather am just trying not to completely lose all hope, melt down or totally freak out. You know?
A HUGE CONGRATS to all of you that are now in hard labor! You will no doubt be screaming for your epidurals soon!

We received our referral! We have a beautiful baby girl — born June 12, 2008. She is currently in the SWI for Children of Xiangyin County, Hunan Province. We don’t have a blog yet – it is one of the many things now on our to do list! But for now we are just overflowing with joy and gratitude.

Journey to Mia – I agree with you. We have to do whatever we can that helps us get through this process. I need to have hope or I’ll never make it.
January 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 pm
We have a referral!
Our agency told us earlier today, but we won’t have the translated documents until tomorrow! We can’t wait to see our daughter’s cute face!
We’re an expedited family with LID 3/21/07.

Congratulations to everyone. My cousins received their referral, they were also expedited. They said she is young, but not quite sure how old. How exciting for everyone.

Are there any reports of referrals arriving in Europe jet? I did not find any in my ‘morning web-rounds’.
