I believe it was the week of Christmas or the week before that I found out that the agency is now making referrals for families whose wait times started in July of 08. It took them about 6 weeks or so to get through June. It is really up in the air how long it will take them to get through July. The agency refuses to give out information like how many families are in the waiting times for each month, or how close you might really be. It has always been this ever extended time span. Originally, it was 6-9 months. That quickly moved to 12, 14, 16, 18 and now 24 months. For us, it should be around the 18 month range...but again, we are just waiting for the Lord on this one. I have a feeling that our sweetie is born now. I have been praying for her fervently. I am hoping and praying that they will travel quickly through the July referrals and onto the August families. That is US!! So, we COULD hear something really soon ...like in the next few weeks. That is my prayer. :)
In the meantime, I am excited to announce that our friends from church will be traveling in 2 days to go pick up their son from ET. They have a sweet story. Their time span has been less than 6 months. God matched them with a precious 6 year old boy who is anxiously awaiting his forever family. I am excited for the Wortons! Can't wait to hear how their trip goes. I saw them at Walmart the other day making last minute shopping trips before they leave. So sweet. I can only imagine how crazy it will be when we are just days away from meeting our daughter. Actually, I can't imagine. It seems so surreal right now.
My next blog, I will tell how we have given our sweetie a name.
