3 Months Waiting!!!

Well here we are at 3 months!! This last month has flown by and creeped all at the same time? Not sure how that works but we are happy to be here!

There really isn't much news to report. There have been a few referrals on the boards this last month which has moved us up some. Yet like I said in my 2 month post, there isn't many families (who sent their dossier before us) on the adoption boards so haven't heard of any referrals for a while now=(

I called our social worker 2 weeks ago just to see if she could give me an idea of where we were at in the process. So she called corporate and all they could say is that we are getting close! I already knew this but to hear it from the people your waiting to hear your BIG news from is some how more exciting=)

Of course I'll post when I hear more news.

Read a very good post from fellow blogger Building the Blocks here.....

I have been SOOO restless lately. I'm not entirely sure why, but I suppose it has to do with our status on the waiting list? We have marked off one after another after another after another families who received their referral. We are moving up and up and up the list. Then just this week there have been several families who submitted just before us.... get matched!!! We are currently family #26 (but how many of those families are waiting for older/siblings/little boys is anyones guess...which means we could be much higher up the list).
I am REALLY trying to be patient but the fact that it could be any day now that we get THE call that changes our life, just kind of makes me crazy. Or it could still be months away.
One hard part is that out of the dossier submitted before us (about 20 or so families) , almost none of them are on the adoption board. So from here until we are matched we really won't get to see our names moving up the list as the other families are matched. We will have to wait till the end of each month to see where we are at. But on the other hand we could be matched tomorrow with the little girl the Lord has for us. I'm planning on calling our social worker this week to see if she can give me an idea of our status.
We are still very busy with several big projects but always looming in my heart is my desire to hear my phone ring with our BIG news!
Thanks for letting me vent. I know I need to be patient, but until you have been here, you have NO CLUE how hard that is!!! Just keep taking it to the Lord and I also find that praying very specifically for our baby girl makes me feel like I am taking care of her in a way. Please just pray for us for patience and for our baby girl.
