November 16, 2006-#10!!!

Ever since our homestudy has been officially completed, we’ve been curious as to what the waiting list for a Korean baby actually looks like with our agency. Neither one of us wanted to ask though- we just “knew” we were at the very bottom of a list a mile long. Well, today curiousity got the best of us, and an email was sent to Jill, the Korea Program Coordinator. Her response came back in under 2 minutes which was a surprise to say the least. The news inside the email was just as much of a surprise. WE ARE #10 ON THE LIST!!!!! Last month CHSFS received a total of 7 referrals and we were told that yesterday alone they received 3! We don’t know the health of the babies in the most recent batches of referrals, or even if they are boys or girls, but the numbers look very positive to both of us. This is becoming so real for us, we can hardly stand it! Since we started this process we’ve been moving through it in record speed. A completed homestudy in under a week is unheard of, a returned email in 2 minutes, a crib that arrives in 2 weeks after being told it would be 3 months…..there seems to be a pattern of record speed occurances. Hopefully those things are a sign of good things to come!
