Process of the waiting list

I was curious to how the waiting list worked so I got in touch with our adoption agent and she explained it this way....

The way the list works is that you are added once your dossier is completed and reviewed by one of us. You guys officially started waiting on February 1st. When the care center takes in children, they get together the referral documents, do medical screening, get lab results, etc. Our staff in Ethiopia will send us the child's profiles by email. When we receive the profiles we look to our list for the first family open to that child's age/gender/background, etc. For example if we get a referral from Ethiopia of a boy who is 2.5 years old we may have to go towards the end of the list to find a family open to that age range and gender- so things don't always go in perfect order. Once we pair a family with a child we call their social worker, either your social worker or us will then call you with news of a referral and send you all the information by email.

There we have it, so start praying for some sweet little girls to come in so we can get our precious Ramiah home with her family!
