So many numbers to consider today.
First off its our 15th month waiting on a referral - 15!!!! My goodness. One year and 3 months. Still have a long way to go - but am glad to say that those 15 months are done and gone.
And today we got our magic number!! I was totally thinking we wouldn't see them till Friday at 5:00 and was wondering how I would make it through the week and then boom - the email arrives. We are number 62. 62 out of 200 and something. I was hoping for the top 50 - but i will sure take 62. And actually, there was a referral announced today, so we are really 61!! This number really allows us to realistically try to figure out how much longer we will be waiting. I should be adding 4 months to pad it a bit and therefore try not to cause too much more frustration. Will we get a referral this year? Chances are we could but chances are we might not. So, i am trying to reason myself to accept travel in 2011. Who knows, there have been many surprises along the way so far.
So, now i am off to create my new list - and cross off #19 who got their referral today - congrats by the way. Yippee for 62.

Yahoo, to 62...well actually 60 now as there were 2 referrals today not just one. It's so great that we can actually count down.
So excited for you guys. The fact that it's more real is so much better.
Nat :)
62 is great and yes you are down to 60 now! It will be an exciting wait now that we have this info.
62, 61, 60 and it's only the first week!!! Excited for you as you make your way up the list towards parenthood!!!
At least you have a ball park to hope and dream about and to stalk, as you count down known referrals- those unknowns will bring the numbers down even more quickly...
How exciting! We have just sent in our notarized package so we didn't get a number but are so happy to hear of everyone's referrals.
I'm so glad you are moving a head! I can't believe it has been 15 months - goodness - we were in PRIDE together! It will all come together - just remember - next year you will be going to Eithiopia!
