That's a tough one. Currently, the referrals are to January 20, 2006. The referrals have been as small as 2 days and as large as 10 days per month, in the past year. There has not been a good pattern of which to set our expectations for quite a while (since around the time you were DTC). And as you probably know, it's another 4-6 weeks to travel to China after referrals are made.
IF there are 7 days of referrals per month till your LID, that would make it another 6-7 months wait till referral for you, and another month or so till travel. But that's a BIG if. There could be more or there could be less referrals, no one really knows.
Some people think that there will be more referrals after the China Olympics are through.
On a more positive note, I believe there are some expected referrals in the next couple of days for January 21-?? 2006.
Enjoy your little guy for now. He is so adorable! And soon enough, he's going to have to share his Mama.
