Updates

eWe're moving right along on the adoption front. We're gathering papers to submit (again) to immigration and we're expecting our social worker for another homestudy update on 1/23. We were actually contacted by our agency last week because they need our phone numbers for when we receive "the call". They were clear to point out they have no idea when we'll be receiving our referral, but we are next for them.

It's also the time of month where referral rumors are beginning and they are excting. (However, we have learned to not get excited and to believe it when we see it.) The rumors are that matching has begun and that this next batch is going to be big. Huge actually. Huge enough where we would be included. If these rumors are true, we will be receiving a call in a week or two telling us about our baby.

This journey has caused us to become cynical, so we're not jumping up and down like you would think we would be. We have to remain guarded and not get our hopes up so that we can function on a daily basis. We'll save the jumping up and down for when we actually hear the phone ringing and not for rumors that it "may" be ringing.

Stay tuned....it's going to be a very interesting month.....
