No news is....no news!

So, I'm at Target today (shocker) and I see our friend, Molly, and she's all, "I'm following your blog!" and I'm all, "Oh, you mean our NON-blog...that I NEVER update...despite the fact that months full of fun stuff, including Mark learning how to read and Tessa growing enough hair for a ponytail, has, in fact, taken place?!" So here I am...

We are at about 5 1/2 months on the waiting list, and sibling referrals have been very sporadic lately. WHFC sent an e-mail to confirm our age request, which sent me into a "Wow, is this a routine record review or are they considering an actual referral of actual children AND even though logic tells me this is a routine check, I'm going to drive everyone within earshot bananas until my very patient, very encouraging social worker calls me to tell me exactly what I already assumed" tizzy. That was fun!

We are excited to have other friends having progress in their adoption journeys! One couple has begun the home study process for an older sibling pair from Ethiopia, another is waiting for a travel date for their son in Taiwan and our neighbors finally brought their baby girl home from Guatemala just this week! Keep all of them in your prayers!
