Waiting....waiting....waiting

For the past three years Jack and I have been in the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia....for the past year our paperwork has been in Ethiopia and we have been on hold...for the past 5 months we have been waiting to go off of hold so that we would be eligible to receive a referral of a baby...we called our agency today to see if we could go off hold this month since our file expires in May...we were told we need to wait until next month....and so are waiting again....
