Still Holding... and Now Folding


Just got a call from our International Adoption Specialist... with quite a bit of specific news.  She let us know that we have moved "a lot" further up the list since we spoke last.  I have never heard the terms "movement" and "a lot" together in a statement from CHSFS before.  So that was pretty uplifting on its own.

Then she wanted to give me a visual of how close we were getting.  According to her, the true/real/all families included list is 6 pages long.  She let me know that we are on the first page... "above the fold".  Now I am just curious how they fold papers in Minnesota?  Hmmm. 

Furthermore, she added that it seemed we would get a referral in about 2 months.  But felt that it really could be sooner. 

While all this is up for change and re-caluculation... it is fun to think about.  And so nice to finally have some specifics to share when I am next asked, "Where are you in the wait?"   Now I could even pair it with a bit of origami for a multi-modality explanation!
