Well, our home study agency is closing it's doors. We really wanted to be able to keep our social worker, so we finally found an agency who would sign her on as a contract worker for us. So we are making the move to AAA (All About Adoption) for to be our home study agency. And once again everything needs to be updated and kept current. So here we go again. Dr. visits. Fingerprints. Social worker visits. Etc..
We just found out that a French couple on a Colombia group I am a member of has been on the ICBF wait list since October 2008 for 2 siblings under 5. They have 15 families ahead of them at this time. That is the same category we are in. I'd like to not say this out loud and be in a bit of denial about it, but it's true. I asked our agency today "Will we wait 4-5 yrs for referral?" She said things are always speeding up and slowing down, but that 4 yrs was a reasonable number. When we started with Colombia I was 6 months and O not quite 2. We were told 6 months for approval and 3 yrs for referral, which was fine by us. Well, 19 mo later we were finally approved and by now wait times are up to 4-5 yrs. Yikes. We followed our hearts to Colombia and if we moved on we would leave a part of our heart forever there. Why? Why are our hearts caught so tight up in those tropical mountains? I don't know, but they definitely are. And maybe, just maybe it's because our children are there somewhere??? Lord, lead us to them and make it be sooner than 4-5 yrs from now, pleeeease.
