I heard back on my inquiry about the average wait time of donors, and the woman who responded seemed a little miffed and gave me a curt "Rest assured, we're doing everything we can to find you a match." Hmkay then! It was a simple question, and I didn't really get any kind of answer on the average wait time at all, but that's fine. No harm in waiting.
I just got back from my trip abroad yesterday, however, and today I got a voicemail from Family Creations saying there had been some developments. Apparently there are two couples (local ones, in my area-ish) who are interested in working with me. I called back to confirm that I am still in the area and don't have any more trips coming up - alas! *sniff* - and she said that it sounded great and she would be in touch with them and hopefully contact me soon with some official good news. Hoorah!
This is very exciting. Though I wonder how it works having two couples interested in me. I mean, will they thumb wrestle it out? Have some kind of bidding war? Hmmm? I kid, I kid.
But YAY, I had just been thinking on my trip about this (the woman we stayed with was diabetic and had to give herself shots, so I asked about the shot-giving and ended up talking about my decision to be a donor) and was wondering if it would happen after all. Glad to see there is good progress, and it sounds like if something happens with one couple, surely the other couple will still be interested. :)

Oooooh Cara, that's so exciting! I'm glad something is coming through finally! I don't think you were out of line or anything asking that lady what was up, her reaction is rather out of proportion with your question.
Good luck! Eeeeee!
I know, right? It just seemed a semi odd response. And I was beginning to wonder if anything would happen with it after all.
But... just updated, and all systems are now go! :)
