		<description>waiting for jessica - look at the chart above the one you are looking at and it shows historically what they have done.  

those titles refer to the number of referrals that have been sent in the past.  for the past six months they have done the Spr 2008 small column or in between that and the next column (horrid). 

it&#039;s been 19 months since they&#039;ve done the Spring 07 bad column, so that&#039;s unlikely.

most people look at the first column as a &quot;not-so-good&quot; case (Spr 2008 Small) and the second column as a &quot;very-good-please-happen&quot; case (Wntr ‘08 horrid) and anticipate referrals will fall somewhere in-between.

personally i ignore the last three columns (Smr ’07, 2006 Mid Case and 2006 Good Case) because it&#039;s been almost two years since the C2A2 has done that many referrals.  it&#039;s still good to see them because it helps illustrate the slow down and allows us to dream things will get better.

i&#039;m not doing a great job of explaining it and i&#039;m sure someone else can do a better job!!!</description>

		<description>We are LID 5/30/06.....so have been fully prepared to wait another 1.5 to 2 years.  Really, after 39 months, that seems like the home stretch.
But now seeing RQ&#039;s predictions, well, it looks like it could be sooner than that.
I had a bit of a HOLY **** moment. 
We aren&#039;t prepared!!!!!!
We&#039;ve spent the past 40 months moaning and b******* about the wait, and now that it could conceivably be staring us in the face, I for one am panicking a bit.
We still have a good bit of money to save.  I know, I know, we&#039;ve had 40 months to do it, but it always seemed so far away. So now the scramble is on.

Does this sort of panic bit happen to everyone???
It&#039;s like: &quot;what the heck have you been doing all this time?&quot;

HELP and reassurance from our RQ family would be appreciated.
Are we (I) really panicking for no reason?

LID 5/30/06...perhaps closer than we think...YIKES!</description>

		<description>Thanks RQ for all you do. I don&#039;t know how you find the time. I am so happy not to see the 27th listed in any of the columns! I take it that means we are in for sure next month. I can hardly believe it!!!!! I don&#039;t really want to wish our lives away but I can not wait until next month. Thank you again for all you do, it really does help the wait feel a little better.

		<description>Miasmama,

We are June 10, 2006.  I don&#039;t know what we would do without this site.  Our agency is good but they don&#039;t have any information.  The only good stuff is here.

Perhaps the process will move along quicker now.

		<description>There is no pattern of 2 day batches. There is March which pretty much everyone agrees is the largest month in the history of China adoptions so far. 

You can&#039;t take the snapshot of March and apply it broadly.

The &quot;average&quot; days referred for over 2 years has 5 days.</description>
