Lost "referral"

We received news this past week that our little "referral" has been (or is in the process of being) adopted by a German couple that traveled blind to his baby home, saw him, and wanted him! I knew there was a possibility this could happen, but am still shocked. I guess I really did not think it would happen due to his medical issues! Also, everything about this had being "clicking" so fast and so smoothly it really seemed meant to be! This was my "adoption miscarriage" that I have read about from the experience of others. It certainly evokes the same feelings!
So, I was told that the Kaz. coordinator felt sooooo bad and was very upset - promising to push our paperwork through as fast as possible and try to locate us another child with minor special needs. I don't know if we should just travel blind for a "healthy" child or try to locate another special needs "referral" (and risk losing one again?). It has been 11 days and I haven't heard anything yet - I'm sure it's too soon, but on the other hand it would be nice just to hear from the agency - kind of to touch base and at least reassure us that they are working on it! If I don't hear anything in another week I plan to call them.
We did have to submit one extra document - a copy of the home study social worker's license (in addition to the home study agency's license). I thought that was a bit picky, and strange that they did not want a copy of the physician's licenses from our medicals. One would think that would have been requested too! Oh well. We got it and sent it on to catch up with our dossier.
So, now we wait. This must have happened for a reason. There must be a child in Kazakhstan who is truly meant for us and this little boy we lost was the one meant to guide us to change course in our adoption plans and lead us to that child. On a more positive note, we would still be waiting for Russia if we had not changed plans. I've been monitering the progress that our former agency has had with Russia. They have NGO status, but not reaccreditation yet. So, we really would still be waiting (6 months now from their accreditation expiration date) rather than having a completed dossier in a country just needing to get through the approval process. At least we have made major headway in that regards.
