We have moved! We have moved! No, not to an new address but up on the waiting list! We are now #5! That means there are only four people in front of us waiting for an infant boy. Of course, no one knows how much longer it will be at this point. The latest update from the agency, as of yesterday, was that infant referrals continue to be slow. They are making headway on the paperwork for the children "caught in the middle", many of which are infants and toddlers. Sadly, some children have been waiting at the orphanage for over a year for their documents to get approved. The agency has made 80 referrals so far this year of children in Ethiopia to their forever families. Eighty seems like a lot but it is nothing compared to the nearly five million orphans in that country.
Unless we get "The Call" in the next several weeks, I will be calling the agency for a check-in on August 18---the fourteen month anniversary of our dossier being in Ethiopia.
