This is what I know.....

I had a conversation with our agency yesterday. They are still trying to decide when the best time to send our dossier over would be. Timing is really crucial for us....It is probably not very often that they have parents request a "hold off" on referral, but we really would prefer to travel when school is out so we wont have to miss any work. It is expected that parents travel within 6-8 weeks from referral so they feel if they hold off on sending our dossier over until mid April with the expectation that we could get an immediate referral that would put us at right about mid June to travel. Perfect! I wish there was some way we could travel before then, but this really will be best for our family. I know this is not really "new" news from my last couple of posts but up until yesterday we were still unsure of what the plan was. In the meantime I am going to work on the nursery, try to get the room painted this weekend. I was delighted to find a lovely white bassinet at a resale store today. This will be perfect to keep downstairs or take into our room if needed.
I have a special request to those of you reading my blog. My very best friend's Mother is dying of cancer and she is declining very quickly. I would like to ask that you say a prayer for my friend as she is really struggling with the thought of the loss of her mother. Pray that she can find the strength to cope with the imminent loss of her mother. Thank you.....
