No news is...good news?
Well nothing new to report on the adoption front. I assume we won't hear anything until referrals are given, which will make our number go down. It's been about 3 weeks with none, praying for more soon! Jason and I were watching tv last night and I randomly said, "I want my baby now" and for a minute neither of us said anything. We just thought about how much we wish she was here now, but how long we realistically have to wait, especially if these referral "droughts" continue. What should be a year wait could be significantly longer as we sit at 91 and have an average of 4 referrals a month. As you continue to think about supporting us through donation, please also pray that our road be only as long as we can handle. In the meantime, trying to stay positive and do little things to keep her in the forefront of our minds :)

What are referrals?
ReplyDeleteLaura, a referral for a child, so when a child becomes available for you to adopt, they send you the info and that's called a referral. So once we get to the front of the list, when a little girl becomes available and we are the next people asking for a girl, we will get our referral. Right now, there have not been very many referrals in the last 5 months, so it means we are waiting longer...
ReplyDeleteSo...praying with you. When we got on the wait list in July there was the 5 month lull in referrals.....So I am PRAYING hard that there is not another lull like that for a while! Prayed a lot for our children, CHI, Ethiopia, etc. during my 4 mile run last weekend.
