Children's Week not working

I'm playing on the Oceanic realm, Barthilas. I saw that other people had orphans, so I wanted to get one. My level 31 mage in Orgrimmar was not able to get a whistle from the orphan matron, so I then logged in as my 67 hunter and went to the orphan matron in Shattrath- same thing! No whistle from the matron!

Other players nearby me were having the same problem. The matrons basically act as if Children's week has not begun yet, but CLEARLY it has, if other people have orphans...

Good morning (and evening), everyone.

I'm terribly sorry about the delay in getting back to you all regarding this issue; however, this is an issue we are presently looking into. At this time, players who completed the Dalaran Children's Week quests will be unable to re-accept the quests. We hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible, but we do not have an ETA to provide at this time.

We will surely let you know as soon are more information becomes available.

Thank you all for your patience!

Q u o t e:
Anyone having issues picking up the orphan quest in Org? I just need 1 more pet from the orphan to complete the cheesement. I was able to do the quest in Shatt.


Make sure you speak with Orphan Matron Battlewail for Horde or Orphan Matron Nightingale for the Alliance. They have some gossip text that sometimes needs to be triggered before they will have the quest available. If you are still unable to pick up the quest try logging out and disabling any addons you may be using.
