However, some states in Australia verify and translate everything before contacting families. So for those states, the families do indeed end up getting referrals pretty close to "last". There are a few states in Australia who contact families as soon as they receive the packet though, and that state happened to receive referrals this time, so we're seeing Australia get phone calls "first" this time. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. As for why the families are posting here and not the Australian boards? I have no idea.

I am Australian and haven't seen one referral announcement on the Australian boards yet and unless things have changed since the placement of our daughter in 2005, Australia don't usually receive referrals first?
