Forever and a day.... update

Hi everyone - if anyone still reads this journal that is.

We met with Beginnings, our agency today. Once we make some minor revisions to our profile and send them some money, we will officially be on the active list. So that means our profile gets show to potential birth families. The wait can be a day, or forever. The birth family has to choose us, and then we have to accept the match basically. We are very flexible for what we will accept, so hopefully it isn't forever. But to put it in perspective for you: Last year in Ontario there were 107 babies adopted through the private system. Our agency is just one of MANY in the province. And they currently have 61 active couples on their waiting list. Its not a first come first serve system though. Its who is the right fit each other.

We will get the profile revised sometime in the next week or so... and then cross our fingers.

On another note - I have been given an opportunity to advance at work, and for the next 3 months am officially and estimator in training, while still maintaining my administrative duties.... I will be busy, but if the fit is right for both me and the company, I will be moving to a full time estimator position, after 8 years as an assistant. YIPEE!!!

Hugs to all,
JO
