Two families who submitted dossiers to Ethiopia last August and September, received referrals the end of September, so it is taking about a year for a young child in good health. We are telling people the wait for the referral of a young child in good health - or a young sibling group in good health could be 18 months. I am hoping it won't be quite that long and that you will bring a child(ren) home by the end of 2010.
A little disheartening. . . but God knows. It's been 4 months since our dossier was sent. I suppose we need to prepare ourselves for 14 more months of waiting. I just pray we can celebrate Christmas of 2010 with our new little baby. That's our year to spend Christmas in Seattle and so far both our boys have spent their first Christmas there. I know this may not be our baby's "first" Christmas but it would be their first on with our family.
Please pray for us as this is long and we have moments of sadness thinking they may be born already and we don't know where they are and if they're safe and healthy.
