A few weeks ago I got a generic/mass email from our agency (Bethany) saying they were wrapping up negotiations to work with two additional orphanages in Ethiopia. Being in the business I am, there are always sales talks and negotiations going on and I have learned not to ever EVER get excited about ANYthing until the papers are signed....and even then something could still go wrong. Call me cynical. I call it realistic. So I sort of thought "huh, good" to myself and moved on.
Today I read the blogs of two other Bethany families (not in Colorado) who recently got their referrals. One after 6 months of waiting and one after 4 months. HOLY COW! We've been pretty discouraged depressed over the fact that we're going to be waiting 18+ months for a referral and now we see 2 families get referrals in so much less time. Cue the hallelujah chorus!
