We just found out that we are #32 on the girl list. This number includes families who are open to any range of the same age parameters as we are (could be 0-12 months, 1-3 years, etc.~~quite a few are probably only waiting for an infant). We still have not heard back as far as how many families ahead of us are open to a toddler. For now, we're ready for the waiting game. We have several grants that we are ready to apply for now that we have our updated homestudy, so that is next on the to-do-list while we wait. This past weekend we went to a picnic for families in our part of the state who have adopted from Ethiopia. The picture is of L with our friend's baby boy. It was fun to meet some new faces & hear everyone's adoption story. There were several babies & several toddlers...made me very curious to know what we'll end up with! It's so funny b/c when you're waiting for a number, you feel like you'll be so content once you know your number. Then, as soon as you get that number, you're ready to know the answer to the next waiting game. I guess that's always how life goes!

It is wonderful to read about families who are willing to adopt toddlers and older children. I'm praying that you'll have a call before the courts close. We waited 50 days for our referral, and we've been waiting 53 for our travel call.
It was nice to meet you (and everyone else) in person! Glad to hear you finally got your number and can't wait to hear about your little one!
