CCAA Referral Update

"The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office in June 2005. The CCAA has finished the placement of children for the families whose adoption application documents were registered with our office before May 13, 2005."
This is the update on the CCAA website this morning. I had this fear that they might only finish April, so, I'm actually pretty psyched about this date.
I keep preparing myself for an October referral. But.......my agency, CCAI, continues to estimate "approximately 10 month" wait from LID to referral. I know approximately means "give or take a little", but I find it interesting that even though the CCAA keeps saying that referral times will rise and fall monthly based on the # of dossiers submitted vs. # of paper ready babies, our agency has pretty consistently said "approx. 10 months"...... And our agency is noted for being very conservative in their predictions/information that they release.
I also note that when I met our agency founder and co-president, Joshua at a reception several months ago and questioned him about referral predictions, he said his best guess for early September LIDs would be a referral "at about 10 months". Maybe this means nothing..........or maybe..........it means they know something..........
I guess what I'm saying is...........I'm still holding out hope for a July referral, even though I'm preparing for October.
The other exciting thing is that June LIDS are moving into the review room!!!!!!!1
Woohoo! for my friends, Sonia and Jill, and Stephanie (sorry if I missed someone) from our waiting family group. Boy, are you getting close!!!!

Hi Cindy,

I find my agency also consistently giving estimates of about 10 months. My LID is 9/26 and the message I just received from them said their best guess for referral was June or July. I, too, don't see how this is possible but we'll see.
Have a good one.
