A little background....
Historically CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs - the main and only goverment agency for adoption) matches average 15 days worth of applications each month. In February, they only matched 9 days of applications. This covers applications with log-in-dates (LID) through 10/24/05. Our LID is 10/27/05. So they just missed us by three days.
In March, both statistically and our agency indicate that we would be included in the month of March's processing/matching. To the shock of everyone who is waiting, their mother, and her dog, CCAA processed only 2 days worth of applications. Yes, TWO days. That covers LIDs through 10/26/05. They missed us again!
In April, unless they shut down the adoption program or process partial days, we should be included. The match (a.k.a. referrals or 2nd Call) should be made known to us early May. However, CCAA is on holiday the first week of May...so we should hear sometime second week of May.
Because we have experienced so many anomolies lately, it is hard to predict what will happen. But we have our whole G115 to wait and vent with. We also have a whole online community (people who uses other agencies and/or reside in other parts of th world) where we share news and information. With that said, no official statements have been provided by CCAA that explains exactly why things have slowed down or when things will resume back to "normal."
In the mist heartbreak, frustration, sadness we found this quote that helped us put things back in perspective and are reminded that happiness is a choice.
". . . .the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances."
Martha Washington (1731-1802)
