9 months since HSTK

9 months of waiting since HSTK and 15 months since beginning this process.

This is a thoughtful place to be.  I know people who announced that they were pregnant after we began this processes and they have gone through their whole pregnancy and their babies are several months old now.

I certainly did not have to wait this long for either of my other two so I think naturally I feel like my wait should be almost up :)

Up to this point it seemed like we had such a lengthy wait ahead of us so you don't think about it to much you just go on with life and time has gone by quickly.  Now I think time is moving slower because I am thinking we COULD get a referral any day now OR wait another 9-12 months....sort of makes it hard to plan.  There are people at our agency that waited 23 months for their referral and then others that only waited 9 months.

I'm not sure if we were actually in a definite waiting order if that would make it easier or harder.

I really wish we could hear about someone (anyone) in this process that has made it through the new court process.  It would be nice to see things moving again.
