We got our referral call from Mary today, March 17, 2009 (actually yesterday, but I have not slept yet and it is 4am on the 18th). Although we began the adoption process over a year ago, due to various hurdles we were officially on the referral wait list for 6 months and 4 days. The “average” wait time for a referral is 6 ½ months, we were below that timeline, which puts us below average, I can’t imagine a time in my life that I would cheer for being below average, but right now I am doing a happy dance! God is good! I think my husband and I are both still in shock. We were so used to not getting “the call” that we are just so surprised that it actually happened. After our conference call with Mary, my husband called me 3 times on his commute home from work, he didn’t even have anything to say, he was just completely giddy.
The referral pics were filled with our smiling beautiful 9 ½ year old girl.
Anyway, we now get to play the new waiting game…court date.

OH my goodness! How can I not have seen this?? SO excited for you!! And 9.5 yr old! woohoo! So cool! We just passed court for our 12 yr old girl...I am betting they are both in Gladney foster house for the older kids but are both some of the oldest kids....If she was in care in May 08, I might have pics, if not, IF we travel soon, I will take pics or a package. I know this is late,I don't check the Gladney site link to blogs that often, but my best wishes all the same! M
