We heard today that our date is not included in this referral batch. This is the smallest referral batch ever, less than half of what they normally do (the new normal, that is) and about ten percent of what they were doing not so long ago. The only silver lining is that we are next. Or not. There is a remote possibility that there will be no September batch due to the Olympics. This all leaves us:
Angry. Flabbergasted. Speechless. Angry. Astonished. Enraged. Confused. Disappointed. Angry. Helpless. Angry. Outraged. Hurt. Worried. Anxious.
AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

We are so sorry that the wait is being extended another month for you! Agony doesn't even begin to describe it, does it?
We still do not know if both days were referred in January, so we feel like the "bubble" people all over again.
We will follow your journey and cannot wait to see you both extremely happy with Kavanna!

Hi Nina- I am not surprised that we did not make it into the Aug. batch. I was excited, but trying to keep my heart guarded. At this point, I am just hoping that we make it into the Sept. batch (if there is one). I had a feeling that they might not just blow thru the days at CNY. Looks like the earliest we will now travel is early Nov:( This is going to be a very long month of waiting for me.

Not long ago they said not only would there be no August referrals at all, but that the CCAA would close. That didn't happen. I am feeling VERY confident that there will be a September batch! You are almost there, I'm so sorry it didn't happen this time- hang in there. I can't imagine what kind of torture this is, but I do know you'll get through and then... well, then Kavanna. :O)
Oh my dear, truly a horrible situation. I so wish it were different.
I think this batch is only so they can say they never missed a month. I think the CCAA is probably virtually closed with most of the staff reassigned to other departments for the Olympics.
Hang in there.
I saw your comment on RQ.
I am so very sorry that this is happening.
I have a good friend who has an LID of 2/6/06.
This wait is torture.
You have come soooo far. Hang on just a little bit more.
OH NO.This is sheer cruelty.I am hoping you'll hear in Sept.
How on earth can it take them so long to get through Jan.I dread to think about March.
Hi Nina,
I feel so bad for you. Last month, Sandy and I found out that we had just missed the cut by one day and we were devastated. I had a lot of the same fears as you had. Honestly, it hurt so bad when the referrals did come out, that I found it hard to even congratulate those who did hear the good news.
That being said, after a week, I felt more like myself and after two weeks. Believe it or not, there is a certain degree of calm in knowing that you are definately next and all you have to wait for is the WHEN and not the IF.

Oh Nina. I'm so sorry, I hope you are next. It must be so incredibly frustrating to be THIS CLOSE. ((hugs))
No, no, no, no, no! They will not skip September! Oy vey, if only we had some way to revolt! How come only they get to be revolting? We are so sorry they stopped before you this time, but we are positive people, like you, and September is on, for sure! (Our new Valley-speak)

I am sorry you have to go through this. I missed it last month by one day and it just stinks. I think it is made worse when the batches are so small. I have faith that referrals will arrive in Spetember but not knowing for sure will also be difficult. Hang in there and try to remember that the greatest gift in life is about to happen, a new baby!!
