Lists, Lists, Wonderful Lists!

It's almost impossible to come up with a perfect list of who is "in line" for a girl before us... but there are some pretty clever families out there doing their homework and sharing the answers. Hee hee!

So - it's a bit complicated, but for ET adoptions with our agency there is a girl line, a boy line, and an either line. Since the "either" line is more likely to receive a boy referral than a girl referral I'm just keeping an eye on the girl line. And we're a bit further down it than I previously thought. Also - there are the "mystery families" who have not joined our YG and we don't know who they are or what their DTE is.... so....having said that - here's the list with the info we have to go on:

There is a space between DTE dates...


Howley - 1 - next in line for baby girl

Black - 2
Bowman - 3

Lunceford - 4

Rothermund - 5

Eckhardt - 6

Heinrichs - 7

Jones - 8
Keiderling - 9
Gillman -10

Mullins - 11
Moffat - 12

Semlow - 13
Pickard - 14
Delfosse - 15

Dragovich - 16
Gagnon - 17
Bartley - 18

Portilla - 19
Foote - 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Redd - 21
Kerby - 22

Reed - 23
Bowers - 24

Carpenter - 25

Monberg - 26


So it seems that we are at least number 20 in line for a girl. Since there could be a number of "mystery families" in line also - we have to assume that 20 is as good as it gets for now. So - this means that there have to be at least 3 girl referrals per month in order for us to receive a referral by the end of March and travel in May. And that is the latest end of the current projected time-line of 7-9 months waiting. March would be our 9th month of waiting. Make sense?

I'm praying for 3-5 girl referrals per month! The sooner the better!

Note to Lulu - your big sister and I bought you a stuffed animal with our voices recorded in it. When the button is pushed mommy says, "Lulu, we love you" and then Libby with her sweet little voice tells you she loves you too!
Love you Lulu!
