This adoption update is not about our adoption, but it does help us think about the future of ours. My bloggy friends recently got a referral for a cute little boy. We are very happy for them because they are great people and will make wonderful parents.
Besides our happiness for them it does in a way effect our lives. The timespan between their approval of application in the Phillipines and the referral is how this event relates to us. They waited just over nine months. Today is 6 months for us. Although we haven't really kept track of the months because the thought around the virtual water cooler is one to two years between approval and referral. So, if the times are quicker than we realized we need to start thinking differently. This is great news that it could happen sooner, but we have not even started preparing our house for additional children and we are still trying to save the funds. I can't even say it is bittersweet because there is really no bitter. We just had it in our minds that it would be years and it may be sooner and we need to get moving on our projects.
