Referrals have arrived, rumors are rampant

MaryMia has links so you can see the new babies. I've seen every rumor imaginable. One DTC group has convinced themselves that the CCAA has actually reviewed several months past May but just doesn't want to tell us. They are pretty sure this means a rapid speed up. They may be right on that one, they almost have me convinced. They also have a theory around the length of time it took for you to be LID, something along the lines of "if you were LID quickly then there weren't many dossiers being submitted so you'll be part of a catch-up month". The only problem with that is that one person with a LID of 7/25 was DTC a week before, while another was DTC a month before... so I'm not sure there can really be a correlation there. Same if you look at DTC dates - same DTC date can have LID's a month apart. A couple of agencies are telling their May people they may get their referral in the "next couple of weeks". At least two agencies are telling their clients they do not expect another batch of referrals until after CNY. As always, no one knows. I will continue to think that the "new orphanage" is a very good sign though, and that maybe a speed-up is finally on the horizon.
