Update

I spoke with once of the directors at WACAP the other night. She reassured me about many of the benefits of the Thai program and encrouaged me to be strong and hold on (of course she doesn't want us to bail, then they'd lose the money - although I'm sure she has some best interest if children in mind). The agency is planning a trip to Thailand. It's like a goodwill tour, touching base with contacts and program leaders on that side. The bonus is she is planning on meeting with the Thai Red Cross at which point will ask about all 3 (yup only 3) families in our same program. Hopefully she'll come back with some good news about our status. She also plans on inquiring about the how the wait time is looking. A lot of the statistics from our agency are squed because many families request girls, and unlike other Asian countries (China) girls are not common, therefore making the wait time very long. We are ready and willing for a boy - almost expecting it. I kinda wish we would have check that box, but it really didn't matter to us. But I already know boys - I'm comfortable with boys and have much boy clothes and toys, so that's a-okay with me. Sam is not the type to pine for a daddy's girl, so we are good all around. If only time would fly.

Anyway - the trip is planned for the beginning of December, so hopefully by the middle of the month we'll have some happy news to report, or at least news - which is better than we have now.
