NEWS LETTER

We receive a monthly news letter called "In Touch" Just thought I would share the time line exert from this month......


Child Match Department

Current Child Match Statistics
The current wait from the time a dossier is logged in at the CCAA (LID) until a match is received is approximately 18 –20 months for children with no known medical conditions. If your dossier was logged in at the CCAA in September, for example, count October as month one.

Of the matches that arrived on 4/10/07, we received expedited referrals for families of Chinese descent whose dossiers were logged in between April 16 – 30, 2006. We did not have any dossiers for families within the traditional program logged in from October 25 – 26, 2005.* There were no boys in this match group.

In the Waiting Child Program we have placed 64 children in 2007. The current wait for a Travel Notice for these families is 2-4 months from the time that both the dossier and family’s Letter of Intent are logged in at the CCAA.

*In the last match group, CCAA matched dossiers that were logged in from October 25 – 26, 2005. For our CCAI traditional program families, this match day was disheartening. However, it was a match day for hundreds of other families around the world! It is likely that there were 600-800 children matched this month as the CCAA continues to match all of the children’s files that they receive every month.
