Rumor: July referrals sent next week, referral announcement for 7/25 LID

These two rumors are COMPLETELY unconfirmed. Normally I don't post rumors unless I hear them from a frequent/regular source or if they come from an agency, because I don't want to jerk anyone up and down more than necessary. But these are the first positive rumors I've heard in so long that I'm going with it just for fun.

Please, please remember that I haven't gotten confirmation of these from anyone yet.

On one big discussion board, a poster reported that her small agency's China representative said their July group referrals (for LID July 4) would be sent next week. July 4 is the only July LID this agency has, and they didn't mention if any other LIDs would be in this batch for other agencies. This rumor would seem to dispute other rumors that the move will delay things, which is good, so I'm rooting for it.

Another person emailed me that someone on her discussion board is reporting that a "friend of a friend" (ok, already sounds suspicious) with a 7/25 LID got her non-special-needs referral yesterday. I would love to believe this rumor, but it doesn't come from anyone I know personally, plus I just don't see how it could be true with no stork alerts, nothing on any of the agency web sites, and no change to the CCAA web site. But hey, stranger things have happened. If I get any more information I'll post an update to this post. Stay tuned.
