Wait Mail

I am super excited. After families become DTE, the agency sends out wait mail which is helpful information to read while waiting. Up until now we have received 2 of the 3. The 1st one was Transracial Transcultural Parenting and the 2nd was Injera, Coffee, and More! It describes the history, religion, language, economy, education, coffee, cuisine, and holidays in Ethiopia. Today, we got the 3rd and final of the wait mail. This one talks about what to expect when you're expecting a referral. I know it's not quite as exciting as getting a referral, but it definitely boosted my happiness level. Having now received all of the wait mail makes me feel like we are there. To my knowledge, the timing of the last wait mail does not indicate anything about the referral, but it shows progression and makes me feel like we won't be waiting much longer. Here is to hoping that Friday is a big day with referrals.
