Wow, seventeen months of waiting for our referral - I can truly say that I NEVER thought I would be counting our wait for this long (and who knows how much longer). The irony is that if I think back to a year ago, I was far more anxious and consumed with the wait than I am today - it is hard to determine why this is - maybe one year ago we WERE soooo close (hahahaha)! - maybe I have become complacent with everything - maybe everything has been on hold for so long that I am just in that holding mode, almost a coping mechanism. Whatever it is - I'll take it for now. Maybe once things start moving again (like when the first referrals come through) I will be back to my old anxious self - won't that be exciting?!?!One thing I do know is that today is the day that the retainer agreements are due. To be honest, I have really not spent a lot of time worrying about whether we will have enough families to continue. I am quick confident that we don't have anything to worry about. But I will certainly post once I know for sure.

17 turned out to be a big celebration after all!
I think perhaps the reason the wait feels less anxious at 17 than it did many months ago is that after all that you have been through since then, it feels like a blessing to even be waiting again, really waiting and knowing that someday your turn will come.
Congrats to making it to 17months and even better to be celebrating the success of moving forward.
Cheers to us all.
Now on to referrals.

Congrats!!! Best news ever!!!!
Oh Laura. As soon as I heard this news I thought of your family! I can't wait to hear that referrals are coming in and fmailies are being united!! What a way to skip over the 17 month blahhs (I found it a hard month to wait)and bring on the celebrations! I am so happy for you and the other IA families.

so glad things are working out for so many families!! Hoping those referrals come quickly!!
It's been quite the journey so far, hasn't it. It can only get better from here. I'm happy to see we are back to counting the months again. It would be great to see some referrals before 2010 but maybe that's wishing for way too much.
I'm so happy that things are moving again for you! It's good to have hope once again!
Hope you get a referral soon!
Connie
I'm so happy and proud of you guys! You should celebrate this huge milestone.
I can't wait to hear where you are in the list.... I'm thinking you are pretty close to the top???? Hope so!
I've been trying to find the right words to write... I can't do it... But you will be mommy again soon, just trust Him.
