Based on the history of recent referrals, our Agency has reduced the estimated wait times for referrals of sibling groups to 5 to 7 months from when your dossier is submitted. As of Tuesday, our dossier will have been in Ethiopia 4 months. That means we could be getting a referral as soon as next month!! Wow, we've been telling ourselves February, since that would go along with the 9 month time frame that is typical for infant girls. This news, along with some "spy" news from several families who have recently traveled has us getting a little excited. We've been playing a few "what if" games, but balancing that with trusting that the Lord has the perfect plan of timing and number and ages of children for our family. We dream about delighting in the day we finally receive our big news!
.
Also, please join us in praying as we are still waiting on one more document from USCIS for the changes we made to bring home siblings. We need to have this paper before we can receive our referral.
We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
Psalm 33:20-21
