Moving on up!

Yeah, an update!  AI is currently matching about one family per month, which is on par with their numbers from last year.   They matched 12 babies with 12 families.  We are now family #5 on the list, which doesn't really mean a whole lot in the sense of time since there can be movement within the list.  Once we are family #1, #2, or #3, the birth mothers will be shown our photo book and family information.  If they like us, even if we're #3, we'll get a call.  On the other hand, if we are family #1, it doesn't mean that we'll get the next referral.  Out of respect for other families who might be on this list, I won't post our # again after this post.  Would not want anybody's feelings hurt if we leap frogged over them.  I am sure that there are many lovely, deserving families on the list ahead, and behind, us.  So, all that being said, we are most likely looking at an August or September referral.  Now off to plan some summer activities to make the wait go by faster!  On the plus side, we received travel information and a packing list today! It's starting to feel like this may actually happen!
