It is frustrating for us to know that when we make our age change, (born after October, 2006) we will probably get a quick referral as we will be the one of only a few who will accept such an older child. We are 143 and you are 146, and our ages are similar so we could be travel buddies. I have a feeling you guys are already matched. That's what kills me. IA said they could match us during this time, but would not tell us. <br />We are being held hostage by Revenue Canada, as my husband needs his notice of assessment. He didn't actually file his taxes this year because he thought there was no hurry as he was owed money. Now we are waiting 2-3 months for them to process his return. I begged them to expedite it, but they said no. So, held hostage by paperwork. Unable to get a referral. I feel so out of control of this whole process and just numb. I totally get what you are saying. There is NOTHING easy about this situation. I really hope you hear by Christmas and that the next day IA calls you with that referral!!!<br /><br />ClaireBCMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605130303718384216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626750314484243494.post-12090623145546078972010-12-12T16:16:12.983-08:002010-12-12T16:16:12.983-08:00Found this.
