Well, as the title suggest, we feel like we’re finally nearing the end.
Actually, it’s not really THE end. More like the end of this phase.
We think we’re really close to a referral.
We received our latest wait list update.
We’re number 6!
I have this weird thing with numbers, and I hate the number 6.
5 & 7 are great, but not 6.
However, today, I love 6.
And that’s the number of infants from Ethiopia that were placed through our program this month.
Now, you may ask, “How is it that 6 infants were placed but you only moved 5 spots?”
Well, I don’t know exactly. There could be any number of reasons. Two of those infants could have been siblings and been referred to a family waiting on a sibling group. Perhaps another families referral fell through so they received one of them.
I don’t know, and, frankly, I’m not too worried about it.
We just need September to be like August, and we’ll be there.
We’ll know who Haven is.
I leave for a trip to East Asia on September 27.
I’ve been saying this whole time that I think we’ll receive our referral before then.
It would still be a big undertaking for that to happen.
But we’re praying to that end.
Please, join us.
