Update on the Waiting...

I called my agency last week and spoke to the new director Amy. (Laura has left the company even though she is still doing some small work for them on the side - and I am REALLY Bummed about this!) Anyway...Amy was nice, but definitely not Laura and not that helpful. She acted like she was not sure what she was "allowed" to say...therefore...I did not learn much. She said basically two things - 1. She thought there was only one girl referral. 2. Sonia said that she did not know when I would get a referral - but that it would be this year (2008)

A little frustrated - Today I contacted Laura (she gave me her contact info) and talked to her awhile and she thought that they had 3 girl referrals - but definitely 2 - so if that is right (which she normally is) that would mean I am now 5Th on the list (4Th if it was 3 referrals - but she could not confirm the 3rd) She gave me some great info about traveling - which helps me somewhat with planning. She said NO Guarantees - but in her "opinion" she thought I would get a referral in Late October. So although I was hoping for September...that is still not bad. I just hope it is no later than that. I so want to bring her home for Christmas...just don't know if I will be able to. :-(

So please keep me in your prayers that we will have her by then.
