New Numbers!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!This is Claire. My mom hasn't written on the blog latley so I decided to update you on the waiting list. While we were waiting to find out our numbers on the list we got an email that said that a large number of refferals went out over the month.My family was really anxious to find out our places on the list. We had one more week to find out.That Tuesday that we were supposed to get our numbers, in the morning we got a call.Someone was talking to my mom while I was getting ready for school.The person that called told my mom that our caseworker,Christy Penny was on vacation. On the way to school my mom was telling me that she got that call saying that Christy couldn't tell us our place because she was on vacation with her family.In the car I was telling my mom that only our family would have a caseworker that went on vacation the day that we were supposed to find out our place on the list.Finally, that Friday we got another call, it wasn't our caseworker but it was someone else.First,she apologized that we didn't get our numbers that Tuesday.She also said that she called to tell us our new numbers. First of all she was right about our numbers moving up a little bit faster than usual. For the girls list we started at 43 and now we are 35,for the boys list we started at 15 and now we are 11,and last for the siblings group we were 11 and now we are 9. I am excited that the sibling list is the shortest list because I am praying that we can have the chance to adopt a twin brother and sister.
