Update.... But still just waiting

I spoke with our Case Manager at our adoption agency again today. Here's what I found out. We're number 17 on the list. The 16 families ahead of us are requesting any age, gender and number of children, but approximately 7 of them are anticipating a referral of a child that is similar to our hope. So, she said it will probably be Spring before we get our referral.

When we went on the list in July, we were told to expect to wait up to ten months for a referral. I however had other ideas and was hoping to be matched by October. A couple months in I realized that was not going to happen. Then I was hoping before the end of the year.... still 21 days to go, but that's just not looking like a possibility. Then I began hoping we would be matched sometime early in the year. Now they are estimating it will be in the Spring. As long as we're matched by the end of May, they'll be right on schedule. So we continue to wait. That's my news!
