December 8th we received a call from Christy at AGCI that all our paperwork is officially complete and we have been placed on the waiting list(s)!! Whew! It took about 2 months longer than expected, due to a very slow homestudy process but here we are! So (drum roll please!) - here are our numbers!
Waiting for siblings: we are #15 on list
Waiting for a girl: we are #28 on list
Waiting for a boy: we are #13 on list
We are on all the lists because we will take any of the above! Many families do it that way but as you can see many families simply want a girl! So, our next update should come in early January. They update the wait lists the first week of every month. Families are removed from the top of the list once they accept a referral. The curve ball in our situation is that we are open to children under the age of 5 and many families on the list only want infants. So, that could mean we would get a referral before many families ahead of us on the list. That pretty much means that we could get a referral in 1 to.........8 months!! We are just trusting God in his timing and that he knows the child or children he has for us!
We are a Guatemalan, Ethiopian, American family loving each other through the messes in this crazy life adventure.
