Now For The Icky Rumors

There are now rumors of the cut off being around the 8th. Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!! Still holding out for the 12th, but it doesn't look good right now. Good news is that TA's(travel approval) may be expected tomorrow for the last batch.:)

More from Spanish Site (Deep Breath)

She has upgraded her December 12th cut off rumor to a 10. That's the highest rating she gives. In other words she is saying she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the 12th is in. According to some who follow her, this is the first time she has ever given a 10 rating. Pretty exciting stuff!!! I have to remind myself to breathe. All of you who haven't been apart of the rumor mill before this is how it is every month, but usually there are some reall bad rumors thrown in to confuse everyone even more. I sure hope that this Spanish site is right. I'm not sure how she is going to live it down if she's wrong after this. You just don't give a 10 rating if your not definitely sure. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. Breathe. Freaking out. Breathe. Hope,hope,hope. Breathe.

More Rumors

The rumors today so far are that CCAA has begun matching and another source is saying the 12th could be in. If we are in we should hear something next week.

Rumor 5

Now the Spanish RQ is saying it is fact that the 12th is the cut off. I'm just about to burst with excitement!!!! I think I'll be more likely to believe this one when families start to get calls from there agencies telling them they are in...which is usually a few days before referrals arrive. So hopefully we'll know if this is solid by next week..... I'll keep you posted on any new developments. :)

Rumor 4 (Spanish RQ)

Spanish RQ is now saying that December 12 is the cut off....I'm trying soooooo hard not to get too excited. But inside I'm doing cartwheels!!! My LID in a rumor!!!

Rumoro Numero Tres

This title is my attempt at Spanish.....and this next rumor comes from the Spanish Rumor Queen. Yes...even Spain has an RQ. So this rumor is basically saying what we already know...that the 10th could be in and even further than that. Not sure if this is acurate info or not...they could have just read the rumors on RQ's blog and that would make this an echo rumor. But here it is and again it's good news.:)

Rumor #2

This was posted on a forum I joined......

Some of my friends here in the UK who were DTC on 5th December 05 (but don't know their LID) have been told this week by their in-country China guides that they will get a referral in November. I was DTC a week earlier and am using the same guides so have e mailed them to see if they have any more information. From what I've heard of them before they are normally pretty accurate in what they say about timing. I'll report back if I hear anything useful. I'm starting a new job in a week's time so will be pretty shocked if I get a November referral (I told my new bosses December for sure).

The thing is we don't go buy our DTC date it's our LID that's so important. I'm not sure what to think of this one. If their DTC date is 12-5 then their LID could be anywhere from 12-10 to 12-20. Still good news though!!!

First Referral Rumor Of The Month

I've decided to post any and every referral rumor I read about. So here is the first one. I read it last night and about had a heart attack....but remember early rumors are almost always wrong.

"A few days ago we emailed our SW to see where things are at and today she responded. Occording to her source they have made it to 12/10/05. She doesn't know if they will get any further but she does believe that the 10th is in. I don't know who her source is or how accurate this information is but here it is it was given to us."

The thing is 12-10-05 is a Saturday and CCAA has never had a weekend cut-off day. So my theory is if this rumor is true, then surely they could push to get through the 12th(our LID and a Monday). That's what I hope anyway. I like to think of this time of the month as a roller coaster. And right now the track is taking us up, up, up!!! So hold on tight!!!!

Water Monkeys

Today was first day of Fall Break for the kids....although it doesn't feel like Fall at all. It was in the low 90's, the kids were stir crazy. So I put them out side with the hose and told them to wash the van. Well that lasted all of 5 minutes, but they had a blast!!!! BTW can you believe Madi is small enough to fit into a 5 gallon pickle bucket?

CCAA Update

Well it's official.. CCAA went through November 30th. No surprise there. Farewell November....Hello Decmeber!!!! WooHoo!!!

5 days

That's how many day CCAA referred this month. Not good. I'm thrilled for the families who received their referrals, but 5 stinkin days? This is not fun anymore. I just want my daughter home. For those of you who are standing with us through all this we have started praying for paperwork to be released. I don't know what's going on over there, but it's not good.

Just to put it in perspective..they referred from November 25 to November 30 and two of those days are a weekend. Our LID is December 12.

Thanks for letting me vent...I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow. :)
