You've got to be kidding...

It has been an interesting two days. Monday morning, after getting my coffee, I decided to check an adoption message board/website that seems to have referral information before anyone else. Imagine my surprise when I saw that agencies in Europe were announcing that China had finished a batch of referrals through April 5, 2006. This was our date! As the morning progressed, several people in the US started reporting that they had received calls from their agency with a referral and were posting pictures of their babies. I knew our call would be coming soon and we would finally get information about our new daughter. Well, the call came about noon, but not with the information we were hoping for. Our agency did receive a package of referrals for the 4/5/06 LID, but ours was not included. They don’t know why and are checking into it. We were hoping to have an explanation today but, as of 5pm CST, they had not heard back from China. So maybe tomorrow we’ll know something. We are so disappointed and frustrated, and even a little sad. Please pray that this was a minor glitch and we will have our referral this week. We’ll keep you posted.
