I can not believe we're finally able to say this but...to the best of my knowledge (after extensive blog and discussion board stalking !!!) we are at the top of the list for a referral of an infant. Actually, we're tied for the spot of who's been waiting the longest...which actually is great news because that means that the likelihood of getting a referral soon is starting to feel more like a reality than a far off dream. Last Thursday, we learned of a referral for a 12 month old and then Friday while on the road to Wes' parents I learned of another referral for an 11 month old. So- we're at the top!!! We've watched our names slowly, slowly, slowly creep up the list. A year ago we were on the 'working on formal application/homestudy' section. Now, we're at the top of the pile! Now- we've got to keep our expectations and hopes in check. Those last 2 referrals took over 6 weeks to see any movement. Others may jump ahead of us and we may still have awhile. We see this as God's way of saying 'on your mark, get set...' We're just waiting and praying that He'll say 'GO' very soon!!!

In the meantime, suddenly the suspense of knowing if Baby Roth's a boy or girl is just killing me! So, just for the fun of it- what do you think? I'd love to hear your guess- so, cast your guess today by leaving a comment. I've got my guess picked but I'm not tellin' : )

So happy that you are so close to your big day (a baby girl??)! I just wanted to let you know there was another referral (not on the boards) of a 2 month old boy on the 21st...it really could be any day for you now! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How exciting! I'll be guessing a girl, just because I don't think the "girl" baby wave is finished at Hills View ;) We'll be praying for a life changing miracle to come into your lives very soon! ~ Roseann
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I say girl!
ReplyDeleteI say boy. Don't know why - just a feeling. Whatever sex baby Roth is, he/she will be tremendously cherished by his/her mommy & daddy! Praying you hear news soon! Pauline
ReplyDeleteI think it is a boy :)! I don't know why either, but I can't WAIT to hear!!
ReplyDeleteBrittany B. says "GIRL" ... I am so anxious for the both of you! Can hardly wait to hear the news!
ReplyDeleteRachel K. says "BOY"... she says she can visualize you guys with a lively boy :-)
