Almost...

I got a referral this week. While considering accepting I received more information on her history. Next to the line 'siblings' was a name. No age. No indication of where this sibling was located. I questioned it. A few days later I learned that they'd need to be adopted together. I couldn't accept a referral of two children even if I was able because her sibling is outside of the range allowed on my homestudy. Oops, they said, sorry for the mix-up. I wasn't upset. My time is coming.

Oh Im sorry about that. Im sure it was a moment of excitement, and then to realize that you couldn't accept the referral. Good for you for not being upset at your agency for the mix up. Things like that do happen, and I think it shows alot about who you are to not be angry about them giving you a referral that wasn't correct. Your right...your time is coming!!!
