Anybody accepted an older baby referral?

Hello!

We accepted a referral of a little girl 11 months old, 2 weeks ago. Just wondering if there are any others waiting for older babies or toddlers?

Hi Brie,

We are adopting a 2+ year old and a 4 month old.

We are waiting on DNA as well for both.

Wishing you a smooth process.
Keep in touch,
