We just got updated pictures of her last week which almost makes it harder...although seeing her was such a nice early Christmas present. :)Lisa Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297512265706048323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146102599533184840.post-13824260981463650742013-12-23T07:58:07.279-06:002013-12-23T07:58:07.279-06:00Hey Heather!

Eastern/Holt seem to have much longer waits. SWS has the fastest times, but they still vary greatly between one US agency and the next. Average for SWS seems to be somewhere around 8-11 months to bring them home post-referral.

Or at least temporarily distract you! So sorry that you are still waiting for your EP submission. How exasperating!

Hopefully the changes will speed things up a bit.<br /><br />Hang in there.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687848140471196822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146102599533184840.post-442796890921834352013-12-17T12:18:21.153-06:002013-12-17T12:18:21.153-06:00Oh I can so sympathize!
