So much for our referral being imminent for September or October

We are still waiting for our referral to arrive.  When our agency emailed us in late July with the news that our referral was imminent for September we were very excited.  Of course we all know that the referral did not come in September, so then we watched very closely expecting it to arrive in October.  Well today is October 29 2010 and its a Friday and we are still waiting on a referral.  We do know that China started matching on October 26th and that perhaps they have been mailed out.  We are hopeful that we may receive our referral possibly next week which would be in time for me (Jana) to celebrate my 40th birthday.  What a wonderful way to turn 40 and become a mommy, and parents etc.  That would be the best gift I could ever hope and wish for.  Regardless of what happens we are both staying busy and working hard at our respective jobs.  Did I mention TGIF...HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
