5 Months Waiting!

That is how long we have been on our agency's waitlist.  I remember the huge sense of joy, anticipation and relief when our dossier was accepted and we were given our first numbers.

 

67 Boy

95 Girl

 

We were also told that wait times had decreased to 9-12 months from placement on the list to referral.  I told myself to prepare to wait a year thinking surely by next Christmas we would have a referral.

 

Ahh now things have changed. 

 

Our current numbers are

47 Boy

63 Girl

 

Some movement, but not enough to meet that 9 month period.  Even a year wait seems unlikely unless it is a year from today.  We have adjusted our expectations and now pray for a spring 2012 referral.  Hopefully, hopefully then we will have a little one bless our lives, that we can love on and parent.

 

I remember a line from the movie When Harry Met Sally -   “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with a person, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

 

Oh Little One - When we realized we wanted to spend the rest of our lives as your mum and dad, we wanted the rest of our lives to start right now!  But it isn't time yet.  Someday baby. Someday.
