Announcement?- no, no, I don't want an announcement!

I am usually all for open and flowing communication. Not in this case though!

Still no I-171H and I am getting panicky. Over on RQs site there is word that 2 agencies are now reporting that an announcement will come very soon from the CCAA. I feel like if they were going to speed up the referral process they would just do it without making an announcment. They would just delight us with 2 months of referrals at some point. Telling us there will be an announcement seems like a warning to prepare for a bomb. Here is what I think the bomb will be. My guess is that they will say, due to the increased number of dossiers and the reduced number of available children, they will reinstate a quota for married couples. Yep, that's my feeling. And what really SUCKS about that is we are waiting for one freaking piece of paper. Everything else is done. When I get that piece of paper we will be only about 2 weeks from getting our dossier to China. I just know that we will be one of the people with a dossier just about to be sent off when the system bottlenecks. You know when you were a kid and you get up to go to the bathroom and miss your turn? My 171 needs to get off the GD toilet!

Ohhhhhh- I hope this doesn't come true for you. I'm hoping they are going to announce the "reasons" for the hold up, Or maybe they are going to announce the new restrictions for parents?- we are a bit nervous too- I feel like since we are not even beginning the process until Jan. we know WAY to much....it keeps me up at night already! My husband asked me the other day "if you are this obsessive now, how are you going to be when we actually start"? I just looked at him....he knows!

Oh man- I was hoping you would get it today- soon I hope- I wonder when China will issue this statement- I hope they do it soon so "WE" don't all go seriously crazy waiting for the news......I pray your family gets in under the announcement.....
