So up until about a week ago I was clueless that our adoption agency had a Facebook group. It's great because it has tons of resources about travel and what to expect and little things like hair care and all that.
The bad/good thing is that it also has updates every time someone gets a referral. So now instead of just waiting clueless until the first of each month for our number, I kind of have the urge to follow the referrals that are posted online! The thing is that not all referrals given will allow us to move because some may be for children above what we have set our age range and I don't think we move in that case. ANYWAY it is interesting and does give you an idea of movement month to month!
All that to say, it seems this has already been an AMAZING month for referrals!! So far in August, 7 have been given out! I don't totally know what that means for us yet, but I think it may possibly mean that now we are #16!!!!! I guess time will tell come Sept. 1!! But would that be awesome for what!?!?
If we could manage to move 7 spots each month from now on we could have our babies picture in no time!! But I should probably not get ahead of myself here and just be thankful for a good month!! :)

I struggle with the FB page too. Am constantly trying to gauge movement BEFORE it's actually official...sometimes I think I'd be better off not to know. I can tell you that of the seven referrals given out in August, 4 of them were special needs and 3 were healthy children. If you are only on the "healthy" list (like we are), you have likely moved up three spots since the July update.
