That is such great news! Congrats! I sure can't wait to get ours. We are getting fingerprinted on Tuesday and they have had our homestudy for a few weeks now. Not MI...we live in Ohio. But I am still hoping it won't take long after our appt. We too are going to be waiting on a baby girl referral. I know I sure can't wait to put a picture to this mess of paperwork.


Hugs

Yeah!!! We live in Michigan too and although we're just starting the process, we're a little nervous out about that 90 day wait. Glad to hear that it might be getting a little shorter. Good luck with the rest of the process!

That is wonderful news! It has only taken them 2.5 years, but maybe, just maybe they are finally moving along! Great, great news!

I've been waiting for a post like this. Hope the quicker processing is a new pattern for the Detroit office.

We are about a month behind you. Congratulations!!!
