Update on Matching

[hootiemommytobe]

Hi everyone! First, I want to apologize for not being more active on this board. I tried the App, but it seemed too confusing to me, so I just try to get on while I am at work since I do not have internet at home. But, I do read everything when I can and try to comment.

I just wanted to provide an update to the matching I told you all about last week. Last Tuesday we were matched and we put ourselves forward. The EM looked at profile albums on Friday. As of right now, she has not made a decision yet. Any prayers or positive thoughts are welcome during this time! I feel like I am praying every other minute! LOL! This will be our 13th matching in 10 months. I know it's a long journey and I've tried to be so patient, but when you have these matchings presenting themselves to you, it's hard not to get your hopes up. So, any positive thoughts and prayers would be appreciated at this time!!

Thank you!! As soon as I hear something, I will update again.

We are in a similar situation ... we usually don't get much contact. Either an expectant mother wants to meet or our profile was reviewed but we were not chosen. We hadn't heard from our agency in over 2 months so reached out to them.

The told us that an expectant mother just received our book and that it seemed like it would be a good match. That was about a week ago and we haven't heard any follow up. So we're waiting/hoping for her to request a meeting.

Although it's nice to know that there's something going on. There's a lot to be said about not knowing all the interim happenings

Just said a quick prayer for you! Hope to get a great update from you soon.

Update #3: So, I'm sure if the Birth Family looked at profiles yesterday or not like they were supposed to, but I'm being told they are looking at them again tomorrow! My SW said we probably won't know anything until Monday or Tuesday. It's so nerve wrecking! But, so worth it. Thank you for all the positive thoughts/prayers!!! Please, keep them coming! I'll let you all know what happens when I hear!

Sorry for not updating sooner, we were not picked. But, on to more matches in the future.

I'm sorry to hear that hootiemommytobe. I hope you are matched again soon. ((hugs))

Thank you! This was our 13th pairing in 10 months. Our agency has told us their average is 18 months waiting, so I am being as patient as possible. LOL! It's been a few weeks since that all happened, so hopefully we get another match soon.

Sorry hootiemommytobe,... it's tough when a door officially closes. It seems like you have a good attitude though .

Our door also got officially closed on the one I posted about earlier in the thread. It hurt a little more as it seemed like it might be a good fit but then she didn't even request to meet with us.

Oh well ... onward we go ...

[hootiemommytobe]

chicago it does hurt. It's hard not to get your hopes up on each one that comes along. We do get upset when things fall through. But, I know deep down that the right one will come along. I'm sorry yours fell through also. Good things come to those who wait...just keep on being patient!!
