March..

March has been a pretty slow month at LL. There have been no boy referrals....which means we have not moved up on the list. LL announced earlier this month that they will be merging with another agency. This has us, and most families we talk with, feeling pretty uneasy. The reason being.... there are so many unknowns with this merger. How will this effect our "spot" on the list? How will this increase our wait time and what else will change? Money obligations, etc.?
I called the director of the International Program at LL to try and get some answers. But, there really wasn't much, "legally", she could share with us at that time. So, really we are just waiting until the final announcement is made to see what implications this will have on us. She did say one thing that sticks out in my mind. I asked her how this will effect our spot on the list and her response...."It's a good thing you are where you are and that you are already on a list"....Hmmm? Not sure what to think about that but, we'll just have to wait and see. Kirk and I just have to keep reminding ourselves that what was meant to happen will happen. Once you think you have everything figured out with the International Adoption Process....It will change ;)

A Huge positive....Our SW has finished our Home Study and sent it into DCFS...One more thing to check off the list.
