Rumor has it that the CCAA has decided to cut off the latest batch of referrals at the May 25 LID. The Stork may be in flight as soon as next week -- we might even hear about it by tomorrow, my time.

(Translation: The Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs is processing a lot of dossiers, so many that this month, they'll be matching kids with families who got paperwork in up to May 25 last year. This is the group that includes my family's application, which was logged in on the 23rd. The flight carrying the referrals -- the dossiers that have been matched with children by the Magic Stapler in the matching room -- might be taking off by next week. Or even tomorrow, even.)

(So grant is a slightly excited grant.)
