Adoption Forecast - November

This was a pitifully small month of referrals in China Adoption World...only 2 days of LIDs were referred children this month. Sooo...what does this mean for us?

• According to China Adoption Forecast, our new estimated date of referral is July 18, 2010. So this means we lost about 3 weeks this month. See last month's post here -- > http://nicolesdoodlings.blogspot.com/2008/10/adoption-forecast-october.html.
• The CCAA is now averaging 5.9 LID days per month of referrals.
• This month's referrals covered February 16 & 17, 2006. See the two little marbles that I removed from our "waiting" collection below? One is for each of those days, never to return to the batch.
• There are still 117 days of LIDs to be referred before China gets to us. 117 LID days/average of 5.9 days per month = 19.8 more months of waiting for us (note that last month's stats said 19.5 more months of waiting so we are actually going backwards AGAIN).
