To explain more about the waiting list, this is the order in which families within our agency have completed all necessary steps to become approved for a child. This is NOT necessarily the order in which the adoptions will happen, as those are dependent on various factors, mostly having to do with age/gender specifications.
Stuart and I have been "provisionally approved" for up to 2 children of either gender, between the ages of 8 months and 5 years, with some special needs. If ten of the families ahead of us on the waiting list have requested children under the age of two, in a sense that would mean we're 19th on the waiting list for any child(ren) over the age of two. That's the simple explanation, but know there is more to it than that.
I'll keep updating as changes occur. =) Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!
