One step closer

I thought about giving this entry the title "anywhere but here"...for those of you that don't know we sent our dossier and 171-h to Michigan for authentication back in December. We got it back in just a few days (definetly a first for MI since our first experience with MI was weeks longer than any other state!). Needless to say, we were excited...then we found out they did it wrong! So our agency sent it to them again...again they did it wrong!! So finally our agency decided to override MI and have Oregon complete our authentication process. Thank you Oregon for turning this around for us!

Long story short, our dossier has made it from MI (twice), to Oregon then on to California and is now on its way Vietnam!!! For those of you not in the adoption community, this basically means that everything that we need to do on our end is complete until we get notice of a referral. At that point we will run around like crazy and get medical info updated, criminal info updated and make travel arrangements. Our agency is telling us that with the new laws/changes in the Vietnam program, our original timeline of this summer/fall will most likely not happen. We continue to stay optimistic because so many people ahead of us on the waitlist are waiting for girls....we are just waiting for our child. Keep your fingers crossed that this is sooner rather than later!!!
