It's snowing now... we wait for "the call"

So yes, the first week of December came and went without a referral call. We are nearing our 9 month mark - fitting isn't it? (But really we've been waiting much longer - the ticker is for the wait AFTER all the paperwork was sent off).

Many families passed court last week - meaning that their children became officially theirs. After passing court, families travel within 2 weeks to pick up their children. For some, it was the second or third time in court due to paperwork problems that continue to plague most adoption agencies (laws tend to change without notice in ET). Some families did not pass court due to these issues - it's heartbreaking to know you have to wait longer just for some stupid paperwork error. It is all in place though to protect the children.

Anyway, we WAIT! I don't know how much longer I can keep saying "no referral - still waiting" and be polite :)
