The stork has gone bonkers!!!!

Okay, can I just say how exciting it is to see soooo many families getting their referrals right now?

I think that 10 families that I follow have either brought their babies home or received their referral in the past 6 wks... And 4 or 5 referrals have been in the past 2 weeks!  Wow!

Stuart and I are really enjoying watching their journeys unfold. Its pretty cool.

But seriously what the heck is going on with all of these babies all of a sudden??? One family just received their referral after waiting for only 4 months! Another family had the same experience in February and I thought that was a fluke... but apparently its not.

I was reading in the new edition of "Adoptive Family" magazine that there is a speeding-up of the referral process due, in part, to the economy. I guess a lot of families are having to drop out of line due to poor economic circumstances. So other families are moving through the line much, much quicker to fill those spaces. Its kind of sad, really. But everything happens for a reason and every adoptive family is joined with their child at the right time. It has to be absolutely heartbreaking to be that close...

I just pray that the economy will get better very, very soon and that the people that are needing and wanting and persuing jobs will be rewarded for their perseverance and determination.

Annnnd back to happier stuff...
