This has been a frustrating couple of weeks that have made me not want to post and sound too negative. There have been no referrals for a few weeks now. Apparently the lab that does the HIV and Hep B testing ran out of the substance that they need to do those tests. AAI is not making any referrals until the medical testing is complete, so nothing has been happening.
It feels good to finally know the reason for not hearing about referrals, we were beginning to wonder what was going on. We heard today that the lab did receive the substance but it will be about 10-14 days before the results are back and they are ready to refer.
Since we leave in 2 weeks I don't know if we will get a referral before we leave or not. If we don't, I am hoping that we might receive one while we are there. Please pray that things will start to move again and that the waiting children will be able to be matched with families soon.
