China actually did 14 days! Only about 5 of them were actual LIDs. they got to may 10th! it came a little later than we thought. they did not arrive until around july 16th, the china office was on a trip during the beginning of the month and matching started late. rumors were flying the entire second week of july.
we are only 9 days away from a referral. what does that mean? at a rate of 4-5 days a month we should get a referral in october! the next few days are really large days, so we predict that they will get to around may 15th for aug, and may 17th for sept and to around may 24th in october. we are praying that this will happen and we will hear very early in the month so we don't have to sit and wait in agony longer than necessary.
i just did a cyber baby shower with another woman in nova scotia. her name is shauna and is a single mom with a lid of may 22. we will probably travel together. the theme was "year of the tiger", since that is what the sign our children will be born under.
there were a few families that has an early may lid and did not get a referral this month. the first week was a holiday in china during 2006 and they were told their lid was may 1-6. this was a mistake and they didn't get a referral and are hoping to get one next month. very scary, makes you doubt if your lid is correct.
