But only in the fact that I've not been keeping up on my blogging. I've been busy with work, the farm, and just generally trying to keep ahead of all the little nuisances like the mowing the yard. The grass has really been growing the last few weeks and it's hard to keep up with it. We're just about done calving, only a couple of cows left to go. The twins are doing well, and thriving.
The last news we got has our dossier "pending review", which apparently means we have passed though the translation process without any questions, and now we're sitting on the shelf with several thousand other people waiting for the review process to begin. Review is where they will examine our paperwork to make sure it meets all the requirements and everything is in order. After passing through Review, we would go back on another shelf to wait our turn in the "Matching Room" where applicants are matched with a child. At this point, given the slower pace of referrals, we are still hopeful of a December referral, but more realistically looking for a January of February referral. And, even then, it would require the pace of issuing referrals to increase.
The slowdown in referrals has everyone constantly looking for news that might affect future referral times. Think back to when you were a young child on a long car trip, the question "When will we get there?" seldom got a reply that made sense. It's kind of like that.
