August Update

August was an incredibly slow month!  There were 3 referrals this month, but two were older children which does not affect our number on the list.  We received our update on Tuesday and we were at #56.  That is only one spot!  There are several potential referrals coming up, but we have been told there has been a delay in some paperwork.  Hopefully, September and October will see some major movement.  There has already been one referral this month so that actually puts us at #55.  We have such a long way to go and I am not good at waiting.  At this point, I don't see how we will have a referral in the timeline we were given.  This worries us!  With Jason's work schedule in the Spring, we are really hoping to have our kids home by March for sure.  It will be very difficult for him to travel after that. I may need a volunteer to travel to Ethiopia with me!  Only time will tell and I totally trust our agency.  They know more than we do about the process.  I hope they are right and we will still have a referral sometime next summer.
