Here we go again! :o)An agency in Finland received referrals yesterday for their March 24/06 families! Congrats to all who received this surprise call 2 weeks earlier than anticipated!
What does this mean? This means I'm officially skeptical that this was anything more than another rogue batch, similar to the one received by a Canadian agency back in June. I'm not trying to be cynical, just realistic. As in June, there is nothing floating around the RQ site that indicates any other agency is expecting referrals after the weekend. I fully expect it to be another 11 - 17 days (yes...DAYS!!) before I receive THE CALL from my agency to share the exciting details of my precious Hannah! But as always....I would so love to be wrong about this one!! A call next week would be unexpected...but PERFECT!!!
I just read about it on RQ and came straight here.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that because Finland is ahead of us in time, that referrals will arrive in North America on Monday. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
This is going to be quite the ride! We're with you all the way!!
ReplyDeleteWe've never met, but we've been following your blog for more than a year now. Saw RQ and jumped here. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteAs part of a rogue batch back in 10/08 I agree that you just never know- but a call next week would be AWESOME!=)
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be sooooo exciting..
ReplyDeleteJust think..
YOU ARE NEXT... can't wait to see Hannah's face..
Hugs..
Look out Catherine, here she comes....
ReplyDeleteAnd you thought you were on a roller coaster ride before. Just wait till you get that referral!!!!
I yelled out loud when I read this on RQ....I too came right here. Good luck....
ReplyDeleteThis roller coaster ride is never dull that's for sure!! I would LOVE to see some more referrals next week!!! :) Hold on!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed that your wait will be over very soon - i am sure Hannah is just as anxious to meet her mommy! prayers and joyful thoughts
ReplyDeleteOH that is TORTURE! Bring on those Mar. 23 referrals and bring them on NOW! Or in 11-17 days... just get here already!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you constantly.

I've lurked here for ages (ages!!!! over from M3), and I'm so excited that you are SO close.
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed for you and saying a prayer!!!! I remember checking RQ constantly when we were waiting on our LOA and TA. It helped a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteI also just read RQ and then proceeded to find the "When" post to see if the referrals could be this early and they technically could - hoping that you get Hannah's "call" this week!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is killing me! Add me to the list of those who read RQ and then came straight here! Ooooh! This could mean you'll have a picture to show off at the shower! Fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes...everything's crossed here!
ReplyDeleteYikes.... hold on tight, this month just might give us a wild ride!
ReplyDeleteI so hope that this isn't a rogue batch and many more families will be receiving that magical call early this coming week.
ReplyDeleteHold on just a teenie bit more.
Catherine, I've been thinking of you constantly, especially after your last post. The last 4 weeks of waiting was the toughest for me. I hope and pray that you are keeping busy, and as calm as possible! Enjoy your "showers" you deserve them. Not sure what to say about the "rogue" batches, except hope you see Hannah's face sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sue
THanks for the comment on my blog - I can't wait to see YOUR Hannah's face! You have got to be getting anxious...you are SO close!
ReplyDeleteHang in there girl, this ride only gets more wild!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see if this was just a fluke or if all referrals will start rolling in this week.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.......

Oh this is sooooo exciting Catherine - I was just on RQ and noticed that someone said that a US agency reported getting referrals on Friday but she didn't specify if they were SN or NSN?? Here's hoping tomorrow can bring some exciting news!
ReplyDeleteI think this week is the BIG news! Please shout it all over the world! We want to hear your good news!
ReplyDeleteFinally!!
(we do remember the torture... and you were part of the final relief and referral news!)

It's soooo difficult to accept God's timing sometimes! I'm praying for a job soon as I'm just about out of money, nothing quite as major as your daughter though.
ReplyDeleteAs a non-adoptive mom, how to you know when/where batches are received?
Got everything crossed for you Catherine... hope you hear something soon...Sorry SEE something soon!!!! Namely...
ReplyDeleteHANNAH!!!
