While I was in Vietnam there was no news as the provincial officials said that after Tet they are hoping they will have the children’s papers ready to send to Hanoi. They are hoping they will be sent next week, but would not give me any guarantee. They explained that even though Tet is from 16-21st that Tet celebrations continue for the month of February. I did ask Thomas what his hopeful realistic expectation can be for your group for GNR date and is said maybe April, but no promises.
I think I almost cried my eyes out! The Can Tho mommies have been emailing each other like crazy. We have cried together, thrown fits together, and just felt miserable together. I really thought we would travel by end of March, beginning of April. I am still holding onto a tiny bit of hope, but do understand that it could be late April. I am not going to say May...I just can't do that.
In the middle of this disappointing news, I did receive a ray of sunshine. We got new pictures! My little boy is growing up. He is so cute. When I looked at these pictures, my heart literally ached. I want to hold him and kiss him. His hair has grown out again. I love how it is standing straight up on end. Also, his cute ears, standing out big like his Nana! (sorry Nana). I know I may be biased, but he is the most beautiful boy in the world.
I am in a bit of a funk. I am a little sad, I am sure things will look brighter tomorrow. You know how it is when you have had a bit of a sad day, it is usually hard to rebound from that. You just have to go to bed and start over. So that is what I will do.
Please, please, please, pray for us. We need all our friends to send up prayers for the govt to kick into gear, process our paperwork, and bring us to Vietnam.

Your baby boy is absolutely beautiful (ears and all! *lol*). I know you've had a horribly rough day, but hold onto his pictures and know that soon you'll be holding him too.
I'm so sorry you didn't receive the good news you had hoped for. This process is just crazy and frustrating and can bring you to your knees without warning. Please know I'm thinking of you and praying for you. Oh and Dylan is SO completely adorable!!
Kim my heart is so sad for you. Sometimes the why is so hard to understand. I pray for you every day and will continue to do so.
Dylan is adorable! I just love his hair. He is such a blessing from the Lord. It is such a wonderful blessing that the Lord chose YOU to be his mommy!!!
