Just a brief update...
We did get news on August 20th that we are now first in line for our catagory. This means that the next girl that becomes available who fits the criteria (based on Hungary's requirements and our home study) needed for our family, will become a potential referral for us. Our social worker feels that we will probably hear something by the end of the year. We know that this is not a guarantee, but it has been nice to have this information. :-)
For those who are not familiar with Hungarian history (and we are still learning), I think it is neat that we got this news on a Hungarian holiday. See
here for more information about St. Stephen's Day - from what I have read, it is like our 4th of July for the Hungarian people.
