Today I received the e-mail from our agency that I've been waiting for. The conservative estimate is that it will be two to four more months for our referral of a healthy infant girl. The storks have been delivering a lot of baby boys lately, so the "blue list" has been moving much more quickly than the "pink list." This news is pretty much exactly what I expected to hear.Adoptive families often say that you get news about your adoption when you're traveling. Kevin left yesterday on a two week trip. I can't reach his cell phone, so he doesn't even know of the update yet. Figures, right? We'll be taking a trip to Texas to visit family in September. Maybe our referral will come while we're in Texas!?!? We'll have to make sure Kevin's cell phone is charged and ready for "the call" at all times.
Sorry to hear the news but you are right. You'll get that call when you least expect it so keep that cell phone close & let the agency know when your vacation is. Who knows maybe you will be surprised... maybe it will be sooner then 2-4 mo:)
ReplyDelete*Im hoping for ya:)
It's TRUE that you get good news while you're traveling elsewhere! My friend's husband got the call about travel authority while she was in London of all things!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm really hoping for a month for you!!

We haven't received our e-mail from Laura yet. We "logged in" about two months after you (April 25) and Laura has said in the past that we could expect to wait 12-14 months. I wonder if that has changed. Amazing what a few weeks difference can make, huh? We are requesting a girl, as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Hannah Claire will be joining your family at the perfect time. And, if travel forces a phone call...maybe you should move up your trip. ;-)
