After a couple of months of no referals (due to the change in paperwork on the Ethiopian end) , there have been a couple this week. The best part is that they have been older girl referals. When I say older, I mean maybe 1 1/2 to 3 yrs of age. For us this means they are getting closer to our number. There are about 5 couples ahead of us asking for kids in that age range and I would fully expect them to get a referal before us. Having said that, nothing can happen for us until our update has been approved and is back from the Ministry. It has only been there one week, but it feels like months already.
So why am I starting to jump every time the phone rings. Totally unrealistic. I remember waiting for my referal from Ghana. I knew that my time was close because we were one of the first ones to sign up with that program and I knew referals were coming in. For months the phone had me in this prison that I set up for myself. Huge dissapointment after each false call. Well the call never came for Ghana because of problems with that program and now I am starting this crazy obsession all over again.
My heart goes out to a lot of my friends from the Yahoo group. They have been so close for so long. Something has got to happen for them soon.
Hopefully these referals are the start of something stable and steady.
Thanks for listening to the rambles of a frustrated, obsessed , crazy , soon to adopt parent.

Hi,
I think we have a similar request and our DTEs are similar too. We are #86 and we are requesting 0-3 years.
I hope your update is approved soon and on its way to Imagine!
