Pins and Needles

I defintely have to say, the closer you are that harder the wait is.  We are hearing more rumors on the "Rumor Queen" site that China is currently matching.  The last two years, referrals have come out right before Chinese New Year.  This year CNY is February 3 and our agency has told us that the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) will be working this Sunday, something they normally don't do.  Apparently they like to have their desks clear right before the holiday.  I called my agency today and got no new information so that is why we rely on Rumor Queen (actual name is China Adopt Talk) for any snidbits of information.  Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong...but it's something.  There's another rumor they they may not make it to our log in date and it may be cut off right before us so that is also a concern.  It's hard to get stuff done around the house when your running to the computer every 10-15 minutes to check and see if there's any new rumors (work also, sorry Geri!)  Also on the RQ site are people from other countries with the time zone ahead of us.  So if someone from one of these countries hears something, they let us know before our agency even knows. 

Our LID (log in date) is 6/5/06 and they are up to 5/30/06.  Not every calendar day has people with LID's.  The next people getting referred is 5/30, 5/31, 6/2 and then 6/5 (US).  Now that doesn't seem like allot and it isn't but it is for all people around the world with these dates, not just the U.S.  It seems like with each month and year, the referral batches get smaller and smaller and smaller, thus the very, very, very long wait.
