Waiting for a Referral

I just spoke to my Adoption Agency. They received my package but there is a "waiting list" for infant females, as expected. The Director is leaving for a two week trip to Guatemala tomorrow. They take trips to check up on their children in foster care, and they often come back with referrals. They will be returning on Monday, August 20th. I am assuming I will not have a referral at least until that date. The wait really stinks.
