Adoption Journey: Good and Bad News

Have some good and bad news to share on our adoption journey. Yesterday, we received an email letting us know that the wait time to travel after referral will be expanding yet again. Currently it is 3 to 5 months after referral for travel. When we began with the Korea program it was 10 to 14 weeks. Yesterday, we were told to expect at least a 6 month wait to travel. But the worst is if we receive our referral in the fall (between October and December) the wait will be at least 9 months to travel. This was devastating news to us because we are expecting our referral call in the fall. Now for the good news. We checked our status on the list for girls and we moved up to number 15. This is up from number 31 two months ago. What great news and movement!!! If we continue at this rate we should have our referral before the dreaded October slow down for travel.
