Referral!

Hi everyone - We have just decided to accept a referral of two girls (half-sisters) aged 3 and 5! Healthy and, of course, very cute. It's amazing how quickly things can change after such a long wait... so of course we're thrilled.

We're now waiting to hear when we can meet them.

Thanks again to all of you who have given advice and best of luck to those still waiting for referrals.

November 2006 - Homestudy completed.
April 2007 - Dossier Accepted. Move to Poland.
May 2007 - I-171H Approved.
November 2007 - First referral: had to pass.
May 2008 - Referral for two little girls!
