Every day I wake up and think, "is today the day I will see his face?" and every day I go to bed thinking "really God, not today either??" We were under the impression that at least one baby boy was being referred each week so when they told us we were #1 we just KNEW it would only be a day or so before we would see our son! Now it has been nearly 6 weeks at the #1 spot. A friend commented "there are rock bands who would love that status!" We are not a rock band and would like to be OFF the chart completely and on a plane to pick up our baby!! It is difficult to wait and not knowing what is going on makes it all the more difficult. Our case worker is out of the office until the 4th but we have been assured that the other Ethiopia case workers will handle our referral in her absence. I sure hope that is what happens because I can't imagine waiting for the 4th. Having said that, I said I couldn't wait until Thanksgiving...so...
Each day I think of a reason why it would be the PERFECT day to get the referral. It's amazing how many reasons I can invent.

Nice to "meet" you. We are currently #18 for a boy and let me tell you - we are ALL soooo ready for you to get your referral. I have been talking with Angie for quite a few weeks now and just happened upon your blog.
ReplyDeleteI have been praying for all the families at the front of the lists as I am hoping and praying that the wait lists move very fast in the coming weeks and months. I will definitely be praying for you :)
