I heard word yesterday that an update was given out about the referrals for siblings. There have only been two referrals since the new Imagine opened up their doors. Now it doesn't look like referrals for children under the age of three will come in anytime soon. Those who are on the siblings list are to increase their ages or wait...wait and wait. Which is hard to hear for those who have been waiting for years already.
With this news it has left us to believe that our hopes of adopting siblings has now come to an end. I felt there was possibility that this might happen but we held on to hope that we might just have a happy ending. We are still on the list for a referral for a single child. Even though we did put ourselves on both list...it doesn't make the news any less painful.
My heart goes out to those who were affected by this news.

This seems crazy to me considering that our bloggy friends in the States continue to get sibling referrals and the wait times are significantly shorter for ANY child, sibling or single referral. Something has to be done about this, it doesn't seem right. Thinking about you and all the Imagine families affected by the news.

Hey Kelly,
Just wondering here but what would they tell you if you placed yourself on a list for more than 2 siblings? Like a sibling group of three under the age of say 6 years old. Would that even be possible?
Just thinking. I agree with the last commentor...I have heard that also that people from the US are getting their referrals much sooner than Can. families. I wonder if the gov't know about this?!?! We're thinking of you.
