Referrals are in!!!


For a stinking two days. Yes they only matched 2 days. The end of October and November of 2005 are suppose to be very large. People say they still matched the same number of referrals it is just that there are a large number of people waiting with these LIDs. That doesn't help us feel any better.

I'm also tired of hearing "it will be worth the wait". I'm sure it will be but again it doesn't help now. We didn't plan on a 28 month wait.
So what are we doing to shorten it? Well we filled out our agencies medical checklist for special needs. There are certain minor needs that we could handle plus we are open to a boy so maybe we can be matched via their waiting child program. We are persuing the waiting child program through our agency so according to China we are still in the non-special needs track. We just have to wait and see.

Also we are now looking into Ethiopia as option. The waiting times are much quicker but the program is very new and who knows how stable. We are going to take the next month or so and research this option.

I, too, am soooo sick of hearing it will be worth the wait.

I am also very tired of the "worth the wait" comments from everyone, including non-adoptive parents thinking they have a clue what this process is like.

Good luck with your other plans and keep us up to date!

I may have to use "worth the wait" for another topic of irritating statements.

I hope the SN works out... quickly for you
