One Month!

We have officially been waiting one month! This month has FLOWN by and the next few should also! That will make this whole waiting thing a lot easier!

For an update, in December our Agency only made 3 referrals due to some problems with internet cables and not being able to get information. BUT, the first two days they were open this year they made TEN referrals! Yay for all of the families that finally have pictures of their child(ren).

So, based on everything that has happened, we are about 65th in line for the adoptive families we KNOW about. If you take in to account that there are a number of families that we don't know about, the number is more like 70-120. So, our wait time is likely 8-12 months AT THIS POINT. We won't have a good idea on the wait until we're closer to the front of the line! But late 2009 seems like it might be about our referral time. Then it will take 3-6+months for court and travel. So, our son is not likely to be home before early 2010 (no adoption credit or extra dependent in 2009, bummer...it's the CPA in me talking, you know).

Synopsis, since that's a lot info:
1) Currently processing boy dossiers submitted in April (ours was submitted in Dec.)
2) Expected wait to referral is 8-12 months from today (late 2009)
3) Expecting to travel in 2010

We will keep everyone posted as we learn more. We will have another conference call mid-late January.
