New Files Received at FOI! Is the stork on the way?

Well, yesterday Kim (our FOI friend from Saskatchewan, who is a great source of support and a godsend!) emailed me with some exciting news! Family Outreach received a new bunch of Waiting Children files. Since Dan and I are near the top of the list, we are pretty excited because that means that we could be matched in the next couple of weeks. FOI recieved 8 files, which is a little bit scary as there are currently 25 families in the Waiting Child Program with FOI. They had asked for 25 files to be able to match everyone, but only 8 came from CCAA. There are 4 boys and 4 girls. I guess who is matched will Depend on what the files say, families will be matched based on the special needs, ages and genders the families had requested. If there are no special needs that fit the ones we had stated we were comfortable with or if the children's ages are older than 18 months, we may not be matched on this round. We are so excited that it is difficult to sit still! (Except of course to watch Raptors ball!)

Hopefully we will have updates next week. Poor FOI, I would hate to be them at this moment. Everyone must be calling and emailing and waiting and wondering. Patience is something that is non-existant (going from our experience) at this point....
