Referrals are Pouring In

So for the last few weeks, the referrals have finally been rolling in. We've really just tried to put the adoption out of our minds, but now as the matches are being made, we're realizing it might actually happen! Our new fingerprints have been sent to Addis Ababa and there shouldn't be any problems with our dossier. So, it almost feels too good to be true that we're all up to date and that the referrals have been coming in for the last three weeks in a row. On 9/15 we were number 67 on the list, and since then it looks like about 23 kids have been referred. Yikes! Does that mean we could really be down in the 40's now!? There were only 26 people waiting for boys 0-15 months in front of us on the list on July 29th, so it could be that there are only 15 or so now! Yikes! Could this really be happening!? I mean could we really be getting a call one day in December or January or February to say our son is ready for us??? It doesn't even feel real right now. It's crazy to even think about it. But so exciting that things are moving along again, that's for sure.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
