Three

Today marks three months since we have been waiting for our little one to show his/her face. The months are actually coming and going fairly quickly though. It's easy to say that now, we shall see how quickly they pass once we have been waiting 2-3+ years.

There hasn't been much movement with our agency lately. We haven't heard of any referrals since the middle of last year, and only a handful of waiting children have found their forever families. We have actually requested 9 files for waiting children. Eight of them they have either already been placed with another family by the time we inquired or their needs were more severe than we are willing to take on at this time. The last child we requested info on is actually being reviewed by the head office and we should hear by Monday the 22nd if we are the chosen family. This doesn't guarantee that she (yes, it's a girl) will be matched with us. Such a long and difficult process to get approval for a waiting child.

We actually sent in a request to change our home study about 3 weeks ago, and it was approved this week. We originally stated that we were open to a boy/girl up to the age of 18 months, and just recently changed it to boy/girl up to the age of 4 with the minor to moderate special needs. We were a bit nervous about making the change, but think it was a good decision for our family.

Can't wait to see what the next month(s) bring!
