8/07 Referral Update - 588 LIDs to go

We have another 7 day "batch"; the CCAI matched through November 21, 2005. This is the 4th straight month with 6-7 day matches. I guess this is better than an ongoing downward trend. Sigh. Here's the analysis:

Average rate of LIDs matched per month: 7 (3 month ave) to 7 (6 month ave)
Tend in days of LIDs matched: 15, 10, 6, 6, 7, 7

Days in between our LID and the latest matched: 588
Estimated wait time: 7.4 to 7.5 years from now
Estimated referral date: 12/5/2014 to 2/12/2015

On days like these, this adoption seems so out of reach, unreal and even unlikely. I know people waiting often feel like this along the way. It helps me to see the happy blogs of those who are just getting their referrals. If you want to see some cute little babies, follow this link:
