Have a little patience

I emailed Miranda and mentioned the sibling group we’d spotted in one of the adoption magazines. She agreed that they “look like a possibility” but added that they are still hoping to match us with a child from the local authority and therefore we “will have to be patient a little longer”. Of course this sent us into a frenzy of trying to second guess what she means and read between lines. Is she just saying that we need to be patient because we’re still tied to them for another two months and that's all? Or is she doing some work towards a match that she can’t tell us about yet? It’s probably the former, but we can’t help wondering whether it's the latter.
