Yes, we had a few heart attacks in our family this week because there were two referrals sent out from our agency. Yes, you read that right.... TWO! Let me remind you, there have not been referrals (with the exception of older/special needs kids) since November. Two referrals is not at the old rapid pace, but at least this means there is a tiny bit of movement again.
I have also been hearing some great news, such as one bloggy friend from another agency, that was not expecting a referral until late summer, was completely shocked to get the "the call" a few days ago! Another bloggy went from #11 (waitlist) to referral in a matter of 2 weeks. It seems as though there is just general movement in the ET adoption community all together. Even though my pessimism says that this might be false hope to grasp on to - it is better than no hope!
Our current numbers on the waitlist are (meaning people before us to get matched):
*Infant girl= #4
*Total on the waitlist
(Including requests for
either gender) = #7

It IS okay to hope =) There has been movement with our agency as well. Fingers crossed it comes soon =)
I hope you get that call soon!
My name is Kate and I have been secretly following your blog. We are also adopting from Ethiopia and are using WACAP. We were put on the "list" for a baby girl in early June and are a few families behind you. I often look at your updates desperately hoping that you will get matched soon :)
