We are currently waiting for a referral. Tomorrow will be three months of waiting. We just heard from our adoption agency that the wait time for boy referrals is 5-7 months, and girls 7-9 months. We are hoping to get a referral between May and July. We are praying for God's perfect time. We are very excited for things to happen. America World our adoption agency has scheduled a conference call for tomorrow from 2-4. Hopefully this will give us a better understanding of how things are going to work. There are a lot of new families switching over from El Selvador to the Ethipia program. We are excited about the growth of the ET. adoption program. Please continue to pray for our adoption.

The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som...
