Vicki,

I"m going to join in with the choir, I think that you need to ask yourself if your really ready for this.

The DNA authorization process is taking longer for everyone right now and that's not to minimize your wait, but most everyone is waiting longer than in the past right now.

Also the prior poster was right, if you turn down this referral and then take another, you may end up in the same or worse place than you are now.

Only you can decide if your ready and if you should move forward, but from a mom who waited 14 months for what I thought would be an infant, and adopted a child from a "disprupted adoption" after she came home, I think that you really need to put some time into thinking this through.

I hope that you get a clear answer and that things work out well for you.
