Referrals are coming in again!!! Moving on up that list!

YES  - the referrals are coming through again!  Yeah - I was told we are #15 on the list. They've referred 3 kids this week, anticipate 1-2 more next week and then 12 are getting paper work ready!  PLUS they announced an 8 month old little baby with some potential health issues was available - I did say we'd look at him, but just in my heart felt he wasn't for us and it sounds like a few other families are interested that are farther up the list - so that will be a referral!  YES _ they are coming in and we are moving on up that list!

Its only a matter of time. Its taking a LOT longer for the agency and their people to do the research and get all the documentation the ET and US govt's are looking for.  But honestly -its probably for the best. Because if all the paper work is there, the court dates and appointments usually go a lot faster and without any issues.  So I'll take it- they are just really trying to document that these kids ARE orphans and available to be adopted - and that's fine.  I want our child for real - not some other crazy methods.

So yes - this was good news for me today.  My friend was told by her agency last week some time between July and November for a referral - I can see that.  And I can live with that.  I'm still praying we will be in country at the same time and can meet over there - it will be a blessing.

Thanks everyone.

Wow!!! We are with AAI, too, and I feel like you have insider information!! If we were #8 at last Yahoo group post from Sally, what do you think we are now?

Jon and Joy - my bet is you are 5 or 6 if you were 8! we were 20 when we signed up. the last list that was posted/emailed out with ages - we were #18 out of 19 - so we've moved up 3 spots now! so I'll take it -

I actually emailed about the little boy they mentioned and asked - so my theory - email Sally - she's awesome, very responsive and will update you - actually the whole ET team is great. where are you guys? WE're in metro Detroit
