A little update

Just thought I'd share a little update about the adoption.  As it says in my ticker, we have been "paper ready" and officially on the waiting list for a referral since the 25th of Aug.  We were told it would be about 4 weeks before we received a referral.....it hasn't even been 1 week yet and I'm already going crazy and jump every time the phone rings!  LOL


With our agency right now, there is an 8:1 ratio....8 families waiting to adopt girls to every 1 family waiting to adopt boys/open to gender.  WOW!  We would gladly welcome either a little boy or little girl into our family, so our wait time will most likely *knock on wood* be less than those families who want to adopt a girl. 


I'd like to say any day now, I'll be posting a picture of our little one......just keeping my fingers, toes, legs, eyes crossed that it will happen soon :o)


Thanks for letting me share :o)  And feel free to ask any questions that you may have!

Oh Amber!!! I can understand how anxious you & hubby must be- such a wonderful time! Pretty soon Ethan will be a Big Brother- how exciting!

Now do you name the baby or do you have to take the name the baby will come with? (perhaps a dumb question- BUT- I don't know & I would like to know- lol)!

CONGRATS !!! Will say prayer that you will hear very soon !!!

Hugs- with crossed finger for you- Bunny

Oh Amber, that's so exciting! Are you all packed? :)


That whole thing of 2 names & 2 birth certificates got my brother's family in a mess once. My brother Pete & his son David were flying to Canada to look at a camp for David. They needed birth certificates--I don't know whether it was because they were going into another country, or just as ID because David was too young for a driver's license, or what. But my SIL, Ann,
