Our number is 19...yay!!! For some reason that first number becoming a "1" is so exciting to me!! The other thing that's exciting for me is that two referrals from our agency were granted last month, both little boys :) This is very exciting to me because that means we really ARE moving up on the list!!
On a more difficult note, adoptions seem to be creeping by in Uganda due to some policy changes there so our agency is seeing their timeline grow. When we started this process, wait list time was estimated to be 6-9 months. When we finished immigration and were placed on the wait list, we were told that time had increased to 9-12 months. Now, we've been on the wait list for 6 months, and were told this month the timeline is closer to 12-15 months. As much as this makes me sad, it's not because I can't wait and don't trust the process, it's just that I want my little boy home!! And yet the reality is, I really do believe that however long it takes, I know that maybe my son just needs a little more time to get ready for us! Or maybe he isn't born yet or his family can still care for him. Whatever the reason, whenever that day is, I can't wait to get our referral in 6-9 months from now and get ready to go get our baby.
For selfish reasons, I hope that means he'll be here by this time next year...here's hoping that's not unrealistic ;)
