Game: Guess our referral date!

Just for fun, let's play a guessing game. Let's have a contest where we guess what date Kevin and I will get our referral call. Just to clarify, this phone call/e-mail will be the first contact where we hear that we've been matched. If pictures and additional information come on a later date, the date that counts is when we first hear that we're matched.
In order to play, just post a date as a comment to this post with the date that you've selected as the big day. If you don't have a blogger account, be sure you leave your name and e-mail address. I will send a special care package prize to the person who selects the closest date. Entries must be submitted in the next two weeks, by June 25th. No cash value, and need not be present to win. (joke) I'll e-mail you to let you know that you've won, and to get your snail mail (real) address to send you your prize.

We spent the afternoon cleaning out the garage. Kevin and I are trying to purge... getting rid of things we don't need to make room for fun things like stroller and tricycles. Both of our allergies are acting up and we're sneezy, itchy, watery-eyed messes. Pass the Benadryl, please.

  2. Hey Sarah and Kevin...It is fellow Hoosier (what IS a Hoosier and do I have to capitalize it???) and PAP Amy here in Fort Wayne. I am guessing August 1st. I don't have a blogger address - I hardly know how to open my email=). Love your blog - you are totally correct about Gymboree - the only thing that redeems that store is the sales! Have fun kids!

  3. I'll pick a lucky 7 date and go with 7/27/07. I would pick 7/07/07 but it is a Saturday and I don't think you'd get a call on a Saturday. Besides I'll be out of town. I'm also doing an electronic crumple of my entry so that date is a sure winner!

  5. OK...hmmm...I predict it will be a girl...hmmm...named Hannah Claire...There you have it. LOL:)

    Oh... & Im gonna guess that you get the call on Sept 10th. My logic is that you will be to the point of "Where is my CALL!?" it will happen on a Monday at work & as soon as you see your little cuties face your mouth will hurt b/c you wont beable to stop smiling:)

    *Just a guess:)

  6. I predict we will get the "call" at the same time. (I hope!) Let's say October 20th. (So we don't get our hopes up before then).

  9. Hi Kevin and Sarah,

    What a great blog and what an exciting time for you both. Hannah will have great parents. I predict your referral date will be Sept 18, 2007. Actually this is the day Bluffton Street Fair starts and all the Sawyer's love the fair.

  14. My prediction is Aug 5th...hope it is July but Nicole took my august date so I had to add a week.

  15. I am going to guess 9/4/07. But I probably won't win because Nancy already "crumpled" her entry. I was going to do that! It may seem like a long summer. However, next year will be so much fun with a little pool in the back yard for Hannah instead of for the dog.

  16. Hi there you too, I am going to say that you will get that call August 21st. Not sure why but that sounds pretty good to me. Good luck to you both. I am praying for you.

  17. August 4, I want it to be sooner than later. That girl's got a lot of clothes she needs to start wearing, oh and it's our anniversary (and the date we have set in our mind to be flying to Taiwan for Reed).

  18. Oh how fun! I guess July 30th. Hoping for sooner than that. All though, Nicole may be right as FFC has been known to make weekend calls...I got our orphanage approval for Maya on a Sunday morning!

  19. Oh gosh this is so hard. Okay I think since it looks like the average is about 6 months and you're already at 4 - I say it will be August 21st. I hope it's sooner, much sooner and so hope I don't win and you get the call in the next few weeks :)
    Hang in there - I LOVE your site and BTW I totally agree on Gymboree - you crack me up!!

  22. Hello!!!

    I am sooooooooooooo excited for you and I wish you would get the call tonight. However...........I am going to guess that you will get the call sometime on Thursday, August 30th. I think you will have the good news by then, and that you will be able to start getting those baby clothes ready!!!!! I just can't wait!!!! Please let me know as soon as you find out when she is yours!!!!! I, of course, expect to win your wonderful basket BUT just in case I am wrong (that does happen once in awhile) please let me know anyway!!! If you need anyone to hold her, take care of her, or love her to pieces, just call me......Granny Nanny Barb!!!!! I JUST AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU BOTH!!!!! God bless you all and know that you are in my daily prayers. Love, Barb

  28. I will have to throw my guess in the ring and say 7/27/07 - that way I can celebrate Brody's 1st birthday while you are celebrating your referral. Hopefully it will be a wonderful day all around!

  30. I e-mailed Beth as she can't have my mom's first choice of referral dates, even if little Brody boy turns 1 that day. Beth picks 8/13/07 instead in honor of her father's birthday. I love you Bethy! Hope you come visit the in-laws soon so I can see you and Brody!

  32. Hey Sarah... just found your "guess the referral) post - too late to enter the contest?? ;)

    I guess November 15. I HOPE it's sooner than that, but my first instinct was mid-Nov.

    Hugs,
    Rebecca
