Preface: Like we've said before, the list that other people with our agency use to keep track of who's where in line is unofficial and could be completely wrong.
This week there have been about five or six referrals. We were super-excited for everyone and still prepared for a L-O-N-G wait. Then, today, another family who had a request similar to ours announced that they received their referral. We looked a bit more closely at the list and realized that there are only a handful of families- like three to five- with our exact request ahead of us.
We were definitely prepared to get our referral sometime in like June or September. But, if things keep moving like they did this week, there is a good chance we may recieve our referral in the next few months.
Early on in our journey to start a family, we had a list of everything we needed. Organic diapers and all natural everything and the perfect stroller and a million other tchotchkes. Now, we're in no way prepared for this. No crib... no kid clothes... no toddler bed... no bottles or sippy cups...no organic anything. Here's hoping that our belief that it all works out for good really holds true :)
So, we still have no news, and you shouldn't get your hopes up, but chances are good we might have news way sooner than expected... and we should definitely buy a few sippy cups.... or bottles.... or something.
