CCAA Website updated - confirms Referrals only to 10/26/05

.
On Monday, April 9, 2007, the CCAA website was updated to show that referrals were only through 10/26/05 for this month's batch. This confirms what I had said in my previous post below, from 4/7. Referrals for this month only cover 2 days worth of Log-in Dates (10/25/05 - 10/26/05).

Only 2 days worth of LIDs (10/25/05-10/26/05)!!!!!!

.
ONLY 2 DAYS WORTH OF LID's?????!!!!!!!!! 10/25/05 - 10/26/05!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! This is shocking! NEVER has there only been 2 days worth of LID's (Log In Dates) announced for the CCAA's monthly batch of referrals!!!!

On Friday April 6, 2007, my agency received a referral group for families with LID's of 10/26/2005. Families with LIDs of 10/27/05 onward continue to wait for a match.

I especially feel bad for a lot of people, with LIDs 10/27/05 - 10/31/05, that were saying they were SO SURE they'd be in this batch!!!

Here is some analysis of actual number of days referred in a monthly batch. Also, here are my predictions for when I will get my referral (LID 3/14/06), using an AVERAGE PACE of 5 days, 1 week, 10 days, and 2 weeks worth of LIDs in the monthly batches. I refuse to even predict a referral date using the current 2 days worth of LID's pace!!!!

Referrals Announced..Log In Dates Covered
04/25/06.................05/31/05.-.06/06/05 Actual (7 Days worth of LIDs)
05/22/06.................06/07/05.-.06/15/05 Actual (9 Days worth of LIDs)
06/22/06.................06/16/05.-.06/28/05 Actual (13 Days worth of LIDs)
07/31/06.................06/29/05.-.07/13/05 Actual (15 Days worth of LIDs)
08/25/06.................07/14/05.-.07/22/05 Actual (9 Days worth of LIDs)
09/25/06.................07/23/05.-.08/09/05 Actual (18 Days worth of LIDs)
11/02/06.................08/10/05.-.08/25/05 Actual (16 Days worth of LIDs)
11/30/06.................08/26/05.-.09/08/05 Actual (14 Days worth of LIDs)
01/03/07.................09/09/05.-.09/27/05 Actual (19 Days worth of LIDs)
02/01/07.................09/28/05.-.10/13/05 Actual (16 Days worth of LIDs)
03/05/07.................10/14/05.-.10/24/05 Actual (11 Days worth of LIDs)
04/06/07.................10/25/05.-.10/26/05 Actual (2 Days worth of LIDs)

This comes out to an AVERAGE PACE of 12.42 Days worth of LIDs.
