11 months of waiting & number 3

We have been waiting 11 months now for our referral.

We are sort of number 3 on our sort of "list" that does not necessarily go in order.  BUT THAT IS STILL SUPER EXCITING FOR ME!

This is not an agency specific list just a FB group of people who use our agency but some of the super sleuthing ladies have seemed to determine that our list up to a certain point is pretty accurate from information they have gotten from our program director.

What does this mean for me - who knows but if I'm looking at this on a positive day it means that we could get the call ANY MINUTE.  It means I can get to see the picture of my baby ANY DAY NOW.....or it means I could wait almost another 10-12 months for referral.   For right now I prefer to look at this glass half full and I am hoping to get the call sometime over the next few months maybe even this summer.

I believe our agency still has 14-19ish referrals for 2013.

The funny thing about an adoptive mama to be is the random thoughts that run through you head.  I may need to save that for another post.  But for today I am feeling positive.  I feel like worse case senario we are at least almost to the top of the hill on the waiting mark.  By 12 months I'm sure I will be able to go downhill in the wait and I couldn't imagine it being another 12 months.

I may even take the plunge and e-mail my agency to ask some general questions about the process at this point.  I hardly ever bother them with questions so I am feeling like it is time.
