Good news bad news

Bad news first…
The agency has an online email group. In the group there is a page of averages. Things to understand are:
1. This average comes from an agency email group NOT the agency
2. The list was not complete

It looks like the average time for accepting a referral for an infant is 5 months! Understand this includes:
1.People waiting for a girl only (girls have longer wait time)
2.People who turned down other referrals before accepting

Still I think our original 3 month plan is a little off…. I guess 4 months is more like it.



Good news..
The average person waiting for a referral for an infant gets a baby 4 months old at referral and 7.5 at pick up.. We where right on target with that one!!





Also for those of you who have not adopted or are not adopting. After referral the child is yours you may not be with them but they are yours you pay for diapers and food you have pictures and medical history. At the point of accepting the referral he is our baby we just have to wait to get him.
SO..
We will be mommies in 4 months March or April!! Have our baby in our arms in 8 months so in June!!!! And that's by going on the skewed email averages.. But that's all we have to go on…
