Guessing and Obsessing

Awesome! If you are an FBI list obsessed checker like myself, you already know that there were 3 referrals today! We are so happy to see some movement here! My kids get so excited every time there is another referral. They just can't wait for ours. I hope they are with us when we get "the call"-they'll love it. This morning I was thinking it may be 2 more months,(and I was very down about this), but now, hmmm, I don't want to be too optimistic, but I think there are 8 people ahead of us with only 2 of them being requests for boys, so... Maybe sooner!
There have been so many to pass court in the last couple months -which is wonderful, but so few referrals. I keep wondering why things have seemed to slow down so much on this end in the past few months. Anybody out there have any idea why?

I'm an FBI stalker as well and I was so encouraged by the 3 referrals the other day! We are now #7 on the list of boy/either gender (2 of which are open to siblings groups, so maybe #5)! I have no idea why referrals have gotten so sparse lately, but I just hope they keep coming!!!! Hang in there!

Things slowed down because the in-country process has slowed down... it takes longer to get the files ready for referral, so it is taking longer to give the referrals. Plus, with 25+ families in the court process, the in-country staff may be very overwhelmed!

Hope that helps explain some of what you see....
