Ethiopia Wait List Movement

We are at #46 now!! Yippy!  So far it's been 4 months and we've moved 4 spots. Not bad. There was an agency update a few weeks ago that basically stated that with all the changes to the Ethiopia program that the wait time estimates have increased to the following:

1. Infant girls:  12-18 months
2. Infant boys:  12-15 months.
3. Toddler girls:  6-12 months
4. Toddler boys:  4-8 months
5. Children over 5 years:  3-6 months
6. Siblings:  We cannot predict, as there is such a wide variety of what families on this list are approved for.

I was having a bit of a hard time with this initially. Probably because I'm so afraid of it turning into what happened with China with the wait time continuing to increase, and of course because the longer it takes the older I get. But we shall see. I really hope we'll be matched some time next year. And even better if we can travel to get her before Christmas 2011. One can hope.
