6 - 12 months more...

as a prospective mommy i scour the internet for all kinds of clues of when our lil' red butterfly might actually find her way into our family. and unlike a typical pregnancy, adoption projections can be a bit less predictable.

hence the original 10 - 12 month wait estimations being blown to pieces as we are now coming up fast on month 21.

the other week during one of my research times i came across a "rumor" that suggested those of us who live in country should consider tacking on another 6 - 12 months to our already obnoxious wait... & then maybe, just maybe, our number (or month) will be up.

at first i scoffed. but soon enough i realized this slow boat can't get any slower... so i dug my heels in - for the long haul.

recently i received an email from our agency. it said our projected "worst case scenario" would be october.

you got it - that falls into the 6 - 12 months more prediction.


*in order to save us all some serious heartache i will not at this time relay all the other "worst case scenario" predictions we have been told... and which in the realm of time have already passed.

the stillness and the silence...

this makes month 5 of no new referrals for expats adopting in country.
we are currently on the 20th month of waiting...
i've heard that we would be wise to expect our referral in 6-12 months from now.
i haven't heard anything confirming/denying this rumor...
please don't kill the messenger.
