So, we have been waiting for updated info now for 43 days. That seems like forever. I think what is really getting to me is that some other people are hearing information. Like one girl that received her LID the same day we received ours, has already been told to get her visa and her paperwork is on its way to Hanoi. I thought maybe we would hear that by now. Now our agency drills into our heads...."don't compare yoru wait times with others, everyone is different, different provinces, etc" But it is really hard not to do that.
I also feel frustrated for another group that has been waiting for their G&R date forever! I really thought they would have it set before Tet and they still haven't heard anything (Rachel and Carla). I know they are really feeling the frustration. Plus one of them was told that if they don't hear something this week, then they will not hear anything until after Tet. I know they told us this holiday slows things down, but man........throw us a bone. Give us some kind of information before all the celebration starts. I think we all could deal with the wait if we could at least hear something before then.
Also, I am still praying and holding out for the possibility of travel, last week of March. Now that may not be all that realistic, but I am praying for it. But in the words of another blogger, " all the requests I bring to God which have so far been answered “not yet” only seem urgent because of all the prayers He’s already answered with a “yes.” " So, I will sit in the rocker tonight, think of all my blessings, and pray for another yes.
Frustrated, and trying to remain patient! Everyone send up a little prayer for us that we will hear something this week.

I truly feel your pain and frustration. We'll all have to lean one another to get through the next few weeks. But I have a feeling there will be lots of good news either this week or immediately after Tet! Also, Jynger made it sound like she is going to try and get updates to all the families this week...so everyone will know where they stand going into Tet. Saying prayers, crossing my fingers...you name it, I'm doing it!! :)
I hear ya! Lean on me...or however the song goes... ;) Hopefully Jynger finds out some spectacular news for us during her trip...Love you girl!

I think poor Jynger could just make a recording for her phone: International adoption is unpredictable. Expect changes. Don't compare timelines. I hope baby Dylan is home soon and in that beautiful room that you have waiting for him!
Waiting is sooo hard. I hope you get some good news soon. How in the world are we not suppose to compare our timeline with other families? I think that is pretty much impossible :o)
