Does it make me sound desperate that I emailed my caseworker with alternate back-up phone numbers for when I am going to be out of town later this month?
I know I am not yet in "The Window," but it is coming up soon, and I am hoping that Gladney will have a round of referrals this week or next, so I just wanted to make sure that they could contact me, considering my place on the FBI list.
Okay, yes, it does make me sound a little desperate.

Ephesians 1:4-6 (NLT)
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

Desperate is okay.

Not "desperate"....I prefer words and phrases like "brimming with anticipation", or "responsible for letting them know how to contact you"...aka "desperate". :)
Ha! I definitely did the same thing with our social worker! I even left specific instructions for what to say if she called me at work and they couldn't find me!
Now, in this case, is desperate a bad thing? Nope! I am praying for you!!!!!
I'm with Jennifer and Jody. We're a lot further down the waitlist and I already find myself keeping my cell phone within reaching distance at all time (not normal for me!).
And yes, can we please get some referrals this week?? After further analysis of your FBI, I have noticed that most referrals come mid-month or later, but I am ready now (does that make me sound desperate? crazy?) ;)
Not desperate at all - just smart!
It's all part of the process!! VERY normal!
Waiting with anticipation FOR you,

I'd be doing the same thing if I were farther up on the list. I like the 'responsible' angle better. I hope the mid-month trend is not really a trend but a blip. Here's hoping that the referrals start coming in this week.
