Hope for the Waiting

Last week, we passed the five month waiting mark! While there has been a considerable slow-down with referrals from our agency the last couple months, it appears that family matches will pick up again in the next few weeks. In fact, we learned that our agency gave out three referrals on Friday, and there is speculation that they are poised to make upwards of ten more calls in the next two or three weeks. Unfortunately, I do not have any clear indication of when our referral may come. If we were asking for an infant girl or boy, current waiting family counts suggest that our agency would not have a referral for us until March or April. However, requesting a sibling group may enable an earlier referral...I can hope!
