Just how do they match referrals so well??

I have read [and this is speculation by others] that a match is made based on Chinese astrology, the child's facial shape as compared to passport photos submitted in the dossiers, and any traits displayed by the child that correlate to hobbies, talents, etc. as indicated in the homestudy. The zodiac is interesting; Mike and I are snakes, and Jennifer is a rooster. In the link for the Chinese zodiac, it shows that we would be compatible with an ox or a rooster, so the rooster is a sign that we all would be compatible with. As for the passport photos, all I can say is "yikes!"--I hope they look a little further into the dossier for other family pictures! And finally, the traits--they actually do seem to get spot on with this! It seems like such perfect matches when we see the personalities and dispositions of our friends who have adopted and their children! It just really all works together--its a beautiful thing!
Check out the Chinese astrology link; its fun to see the traits, friends, and foes [!] of the zodiac!
Here is a good link for the Chinese zodiac:
