We are moving on up the list. The agency has referred another little boy to a couple on the list. They had some paper delays so things have moved slower than they would have liked. He was born June 30th.
The agency states that 7 families have either been referred or have the paperwork on a referral and are waiting to accept. I know of 4 families referred. The agency also states that there have been 10 families matched with children with referrals to follow. This doesn't gives me a good idea of where we are but it's great for the families above us to be moving forward. It means we are moving forward.
The only downfall in this new system is the delays. In a pregnancy, it is easier to know where you are at. The baby grows and comes out after 10 months, with adoption it's difficult to hear that it could be 12-18 months before you see your baby. So even after we get our referral the agency is saying it could takes 3-4 months before we travel. So I'm thinking it pushes my estimation of time back to maybe June before we travel. That is only if we get matched soon. Hopefully 2008 will be our year. Match, referral, travel and baby.
Have a good holiday. We'll keep you posted
