Wait Time Update

Today was our July update from Gladney. The numbers improved slightly for the wait times, which was great news. Honestly I was bracing myself for another increase in our wait. Of course, I feel obligated to say, the times will most likely change multiple times from now until we receive our referral and pass court.

For the time being, the current average wait time for adoptive parents waiting for children in our age range is 8 months. Last month this number went up to 9 months so this update was a huge relief. Also, it looks like the wait time from acceptance of a referral to receiving a court date is still hovering around 1-2 months. So that is very encouraging as well. The court dates are currently being scheduled about 3 weeks out and then parents typically travel about 2-5 weeks after passing court.

So this was all (much needed) good news.

I will end with some lyrics from a song we sang on Sunday that always makes me think of our baby girl...

I have decided I have resolved
To wait upon you Lord
My rock and redeemer shall not be moved
I'll wait upon you Lord

Please keep our baby girl and her birth mother in your prayers,

Alex
