So Few Referrals - What Gives?

It's official - and it's ridiculous. Plain and simple. Only 5 days matched this month. I thought I was going to lose my mind when I waited 19 months for a referral. I can't even imagine what it is like for all you waiting now. Torture is probably the best word to describe it. Reasons need to be given as to why this is happening - why things are moving even slower than before. You all need answers. You deserve answers. No more speculation, no more excuses, no more lies. It is not fair and it is not right.

It just sucks...

Gotta agree with that one. I'm preparing myself for only 1 lid day of referrals next time. That way I won't go into a tailspin again.

I think they are going to do the worst.. I think 1 day too. Then they will pick it up..
I truely think they are going to be slow until after the Olympics...
Don't know why..There are plenty of little girls/boys waiting for a home... don't understand it.. but not going to try and understand.. because that is how you get yourself down..
Just hope and pray that the time will come..
Thanks for being there..

It does suck. My heart aches for all the waiting families.

Yup, it sucks. I'm always 6 months away.....

Very sweet of you though to recognize this long after your home with your sweet one.

I couldn't agree with you more. Answers? Yes, I'd like answers, too, but all we get is a "canned" e-mail from our agency once or twice a month. The CCAA only matched approx. 3.5 LID months in 2007 - terribly sad!

No doubt about it, it does suck. But hey, where did b!tching and whining get anyone... except on depression medication!

My philosophy for 2008 is -
Laugh.Live.Love

Its not to say I won't cry and throw a tantrum coz I don't have my baby - I've gotta move on, or it'll feel like we're not moving at all!

Plus seeing you and Briana is great medicine for the heart!
