Once upon a time, we thought there was a small chance that we would have a referral by the end of the school year. Well, that has come and gone. Then we thought that maybe by the end of July we might have a referral since that would be a year on the wait list. Now I'm hopefully thinking it might be by the end of this year. I certainly hope it is sooner than that, but I've found it is easier to plan for it to be longer. It would be a nice surprise if it ended up being shorter. It is also less disappointment to err on the side of too long. Time will tell. One of my favorite songs plays over and over in my head through all of this. The song is "Everlasting God." The first line that repeats is "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord." So very true!
Currently there are about 17 families from our agency that will be traveling in the next week or two for court appointments. That is great to see. It shows that the courts are still processing cases. Now if we could get a huge flow of referrals. I've learned after 7 weeks without an infant referral that I'll take one every so often instead of none for a long time. Slow progress is better than no progress. It certainly is time for there to be a huge amount of referrals going out.
Now that school is out, we will be able to concentrate on getting our new bedroom finished, Lexi moved to our old bedroom, and the baby's room done. :) I can't wait to share that on here with all of you!!!
Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, and concern!!! We are so thankful to have so many people on this journey with us.
