We received an email from our country specialist last Thursday morning 11/5/09.
This is part of it. The rumor is that they believe we may get our referral quickly (a long story). So I am really hoping to get a call this week or next. I haven’t heard anything more yet.
Dear Amy and Jason,
I just received word from our rep in Colombia, that your dossier has been submitted to your orphanage! Now we will wait for their review of it, and approval. When I hear about “approval.” I will call you. Then we’ll wait for referral, timeline I can’t even guess at this time. When you get the approval, though, I will ask for her best guess, and we’ll see what she says. Each adoption house has its own methods, and then it depends how many children they happen to have ready for referral, but beyond that we just need to be patient and see how it falls. But this is movement and good news!
