Well I just can't help sharing. We are SOOOOO excited. We found out over the weekend that we have moved on up on our agency list. So for your quoting pleasure......I asked...and they responded....."Your thinking is correct. You are at the top of our agency list of waiting families. YYYEEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
Now for those NOT with the birthmother program, referrals CAN come out of order. Just because we're on top doesn't mean we'll be the next ones to get a referral for our agency. BUT it does mean we're on top(just in case you didn't quite hear me!!) And for those that aren't with Taiwan's program and are say with China's program, I would kinda equate it with being in the review room. I trust that our album will be in the hands of our child's birthmother very soon...I hope. I didn't think we would ever get to the point of feeling like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. But I'm seeing it. It's there, faint, but growing in intensity.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY! I am so very, very excited for you!! I cannot wait til I pull up your blog soon and see a little face in a referral picture! YOU ARE ON TOP!!!!!!!
That is the best news I have heard lately. I believe I will be as excited to see your new family member as much as mine. Whenever I feel like I am REALLY TIRED of waiting...I always remember how patient you have been (or seem to be) and then I don't feel so bad.
Yay for being on top!!! Hope the referral comes soon.
WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOO! Those baby boy dreams are for a reason, Ann. I am sooooo looking forward to your referral. I think you'll beat us, but if ours came early ('cause I can't even bare to think yours would come late!) then maybe we'd be in the same "batch" of referrals (though from different agencies and sources). Anyway, I keep trying to think of people who might end up traveling at the same time as us. It could be you guys! (I realize I'm getting carried away...I guess that's what excitement does to a person!)

Excellent!
Awesome to hear your news Ann! I'll be sending some good vibes your way.
That is so exciting!!! What happy news.
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY! And a little more YAY for good measure.
Ann that is great news. I remember with Aarons adoption our agency said we were "getting close" to the top of the list and it should be 6-8 weeks. Well it was about 11 days later we got our referral! So if you are at the top of your list maybe you will get an early Christmas present!!!!

You have waited SOOOOOO long! You are an amazing trooper. I hope you hear news VERY soon. I am so happy for you!
Can I just say it? Can I?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa!!!
Annie, I swear, YOU are gonna get your referral, all all across the US, champagne bottles are gonna pop. That child will be THE most celebrated kid anywhere.
I am going to be obsessive about checking your blog. You should make a mailing list now, and set it up, so you can write to us all at once. Note that I've included myself here, ahem.
And the offer still goes if you want to stop over here on your way back and forth, and no, I won't stalk Jon.
love you!

YES!!! It's about time! I was tired of seeing the "we've waited this long" ticker. Pretty soon you can change it to "my child is this old". I hope hope hope it comes for Christmas, Ann.
