Adoption Update

Can you believe it? I finally have an update. No, it's not "the news", but it is an update on when we may expect to hear the news, which is great! The adoption referrals have finally started to pick up at our adoption agency, which is so exciting since very few referrals have occurred since we have been on "the list" for the past 3 1/2 months.

As of last week there were approximately ten families ahead of us who were requesting a child in a similar age/gender range as we are requesting. I know that three of those families, who have been waiting for approximately 6-7 months, each received a referral this past week. This means there are approximately seven families ahead of us now. So we're making it our way up the list! I was really hoping we would receive a referral before the end of the year, but after speaking with our Case Manager this week, she estimates that we will likely not receive our referral until after the first of the year. That is OK though. I would rather know it will be longer than I was hoping, than sit around waiting and being disappointed.

I will leave you with some recent photos of the girls I took before our walk the other day.

Isn't this typical sister stuff?
