Okay, Okay, Okay!!

So, Matt's been bugging me about posting to the blog and I figured I'd better take a couple of minutes to do so. As you read in Matt's recent post, we are still waiting for our referral and it seems that the wait will extend beyond 6 months for sure! I say that because today we have been waiting 6 months. I guess part of the reason I haven't been writing much is because I was pretty sad about everything and felt that the best thing I could do was to keep myself busy with other things. It seems that the more I get involved in checking the yahoo groups, checking emails and so forth, the more anxious I get about the referral and the fact that it's not happening. I absolutely trust that things will work out for the best and that when the time comes, we will receive the perfect children for our family- it's just hard waiting. There's no nice way to say it- I'm sick of waiting! I was also a bit bothered because I'd never heard of a sibling referral taking up to 12 months and was somewhat blindsided by that communication. After talking with my agency, I felt a bit better because they aren't actually saying we will wait that long, just that it's a worst case scenario kind of thing. I was told that we would "probably" get a referral in the spring.

Hmmmm... On the positive side, it gives us more time to save more for travel and to do whatever else we must to get ready for the big change. Matt said last night "we're getting closer- a lot closer than we were 7 years ago!"... that's so true. We wanted to start our family back in 2000... so everyday we are MUCH closer.
