We are overjoyed! We have been matched with a referral- meaning we have been paired with a child for adoption. I can't even begin to describe what an emotional roller-coaster this last week has been. Similar to last time, we turned in our paperwork and had a conversation with the agency that now begins the waiting. We discussed that every few weeks they would check in but we should expect to wait a few months to learn more. Well, 24 hours later they called.
We did receive a bit of medical information and thanks to the expertise of our International Adoption Doctor (fabulous and can't recommend enough-after we are done we will share more specifics but send me an email if you'd like the info now), they were able to offer some guidance. However, they did have a few follow-up questions and concerns to which our agency was able to get more info. I thought they would laugh when we asked for more info but they came through-twice!
Just like our first adoption, I can't share many details (country, name, age, location) for fear of losing the child because we've been too public. Please help us with that and if you do know any of that info, please don't include it in a comment!
Now comes the tough part...waiting....waiting...and waiting.
