living the life. enjoying the journey

So courts are closed in Ethiopia so referrals are slow...well non-existant right now. We have been waiting a whole 16 days now and well I am already obsessed with the unofficial list. I don't know how people wait 9 months to a year for a referral. The 4-6 months I am estimating seems like forever!!!! Now that all the big kids are in school and we are setting the schedule for the preschoolers, all I can think about is Maree will be sitting here and while the 3 year olds are at school then Maree & I can do ______. We are #100 on the unofficial list kept on the forum but there are 285 families waiting so are very likely #285 on the unofficial list. However, most of the families are skipped over when an older child is referred because thier age range is 0-12 months. So.....okay I have nothing....except endless ramblings.

    I get it Kimberley! Waiting drives me batty. I can tell you the school will help the time go faster, and it will, but I know you're still ticking off the days in your head. Adoption sure teaches patience, doesn't it?
