Embassy!!

Tracy called our agency for an update on our dossier and we were pleasantly surprised to hear that it is at the Embassy already! It is going to be translated and then we will be DTV (dossier to Vietnam)!!!!!! Once it is in Vietnam it will be logged in and we will be officially logged in and waiting for a referral! We also got an update on our place in line and i am sad to report that we are only #10. 8 or 9 sounded so much better but i guess 10 isn't so bad. It is still looking good and we should know for sure if we are getting a referral or not in early August. August sounds so far away but when you think about it it's really only less then 3 months! Does anyone else know what is in August?? Our anniversary! Tracy and I will be celebrating our 5 year anniversary. So August could be a good month for us. We have been so busy with the work and running the office so August will be here before we know it.

Update!

I called my agency Tuesday morning and they had indeed received my package. So way to go fedex!!!

Decisions Decisions

We talked to our agency today and got some great news. Last week they got 12 (I think) referrals! We are now #8 or 9 on the girls list! So we are moving forward with Vietnam as planned. Our agency said it is looking good for us to get a referral by the cut off date (September 1st). There is still a chance that we might not get a referral by the cut off but it is looking good. So today I took our dossier (all the paperwork we need for the adoption) to Fedex to mail it to our agency. You would think taking a package to Fedex would be easy...well you would be wrong. To make a long story short, for some reason the zip code that i had (I do have the right zip code I checked 500 times) wasn't matching up with the town. So i had to put my package in the drop box. The fedex guy assured me that all would be good but i just tried the tracking number and still nothing! Tracy keeps telling me it will get there but if they still have not tracked it how is it going to get there by tomorrow morning! Deep breath. I'm #8 or 9 so everything is good today.

Closed???

So we got back from our vacation late Tuesday night and Wednesday morning I turn on my computer to find this. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080428/ap_on_re_as/vietnam_us_adoption

We immediately, after I stopped sobbing, called our agency. They are trying to figure out how many children they are going to be able to refer out before the Sept. 1st deadline. We should know more in a few days. So again all I can do is wait. Wait for something I have NO control over. The only thing I can do is try to keep busy at work. Try to keep my mind off of it. So if anyone has an extra bottle of wine lying around I might need it!
