The Skinny

The information parents waiting for their babies receive here in the States is spotty, at best. I imagine that all of it reaches us after enduring several rounds of the 'telephone game.' However, what we do know are the dates other families submitted their materials and when they get their referals.
In trying to calculate when we can expect Mary's referral, we will use little more than my sub-fourth grade math skills and some guesswork.
Families whose materials were in Beijing and approved at the end of May '05 are receiving their referrals now. The Chinese do two rounds of referrals per month but only send them to the US once a month. So, because we were logged-in at the end of July '05, if this schedule holds, we will get our referral in June and then travel in August.
All of this is subject to change and we have come to expect the unexpected.
