Trying to put a positive spin on it

It's not easy. Really, it's not. Here's the best I can do. One of the larger agencies is reporting that they are expecting 90 referrals in this next batch. They received 45 in December and 44 in January. So, if these numbers have similar ratios throughout the other agencies, then they managed to do twice as many dossiers this time... even though it doesn't seem like it when you look at the dates. If we could expect the numbers to go back into the 40's then we may have reason to think we can see whole months after this. We don't know what this particular agencies numbers look like for June or July or August or September, though. So the following months may be as big as May, or they may go back to being what they were. Another person reports that their agency has:
54 LIDs for May 20, by far the highest they've ever had according to their list. After that it's like 11-20 per period.
We don't know what a "period" is, so this is also kind of sketchy, but at this point I'll take anything I can get.

I was also trying to salvage some hope and thought that maybe "after Chinese New Year" meant after the month in which Chinese New Year mostly occurred--so that next month is when the full months will start again. It's a stretch. But I'd take it.

Hi there,
I believe my agency has around 80 or so families for only one LID. We are hoping everyone is included, but we June folks feel like we will not be included this time.
