*Something I have wanted to mention for a while: When we look at the referral results, it's easy to assume that these families are now happily matched and removed from the dossier wait line.  However, there are inevitably referral declinations which, in most cases, means the dossier returns to its place in the line. For example, from IAC Session 271 to IAC Session 275, the council had to re-examine the files of 12 children whose referrals had been declined by their prospective families.  By my estimate, this means that on average 10-15% of all referrals are declined.
