So its official - we are ON THE WAITING LIST! Our Dossier is in the mail to ET as of today! YEAH - we are so excited.
Now the real waiting begins. Typically the wait for a boy is 8-10 months from today for a referral, a girl is 12-18 months. We have asked for either gender - leaving something up to God - even though I still dream of little boys, I can still imagine a little girl as I see the cute girl stuff in the stores. So I don't care.
Anyhow - those times are NOT promised - it all just depends on the system. We're still hoping for under 2 - but up to 3 years old. I"m sure as kids come available, we may have more chances to narrow those ages down.
Just exciting we are FINALLY on a waiting list. I'm afraid to ask how many people are on the list before us - I"ll wait a while - I want to savor this moment. Craig and I are very excited!
Anyhow - once we accept a referral - its typically 4-6 months to bring a child home - so probably sometime in 2012 we'll bring our child home. Yeah.
Thanks for the posts everyone.
Love
Gail

This is AWESOME!!! I'm so glad to hear the time is so short from referral to visa! That's the hardest part of the wait. So, I'm praying for a short referral date so we can get that baby home soon! Congrats!
thanks ladies - VERY excited!
