On my online Philippines adoption group yesterday I read that a couple that was approved in October 2008 just got matched with a 10-month-old. This is exciting for two reasons.
1. It tells me it is possible to get matched with a child under age 1.
2. Since we were approved in December last year, it makes me wonder if our file has been released already. Or will we be in the next group of files released? Last I heard those approved up to June last year were being matched. With this couple having been approved in October and getting a match already, shows us that they have moved on to other applicants that were approved later than June last year (and closer to when we were approved!).
This couple only waited a year for their match. It gives us hope and shows us that it is possible to get a match by early next year (or late this year!). Yikes! As soon as I start to relax and get settled in for a longer period of waiting, I hear something like this that pinches me into sober anticipation that it could be anytime. I just don't know which attitude to take on! I guess I should prepare as if it's going to happen soon - because it is possible! Oh my goodness!!
