Question More Information than on Referral
Has anyone requested more information than was given on a referral before traveling? How long did it take to receive this information? We have been waiting 3 weeks. Rep was on vacation until early last week. Just curious.

We did and the turn around time was just a couple days. For us it seemed like was a normal thing with our agency to ask for follow up questions. Not everything was answered but the most important ones were. I would guess each agency/orphanage are different.

We requested more information but we didnt get any. I dont know if it was on the part of the orphanage or the agency. We ended up turning down the referral due to lack of information we needed to make a sound decision.
Hang in there, Im sure it's hard. At least it sounds like you will get the information you need.

On one referral we received a little bit of info in a few days. For a another referral they never came back with anything. Guess it can go either way.

we did and it was like 48 hours. We were not able to get all we requested but that was ok. I would follow up and see if you are able to get it.

On all 4 referals, we requested more info and on 2 got a tiny bit (about 2 questions out of 10) in a week...on the other two we got no info and were told that none would be coming within 2 hours.

Its my understanding that it is up to the orphanage. I saw a post on my agencys yahoo group that it could take a few weeks for the orphanage to get back to you.
