Longer Wait Expected

We just heard today that things have slowed down enough in Ethiopia that we should now expect a longer wait time until we receive a referral. We are now being quoted 6 - 9 months rather than 5 -7. This would put our window for a referral between April and July. Its a bit disappointing, however things could also pick up at any point. Our agency has had 100 referrals for children since September...so things are still moving.
