By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us
reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged
for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

The DEADLINE Looms...........



Today is June 24th. In 7 days, The Department on International Adoptions in Vietnam will stop receiving dossiers from perspective adoptive parents. Our dossier went to Vietnam on May 23rd, but we still have not received word that it was logged in at the DIA. When a dossier is sent over, the first thing that happens is translating, which could take days. Then it is sent over the the DIA. I am not sure how long it can take to get logged in.

I have been able to remain strong till now. As the deadline quickly approaches, I find myself getting more and more apprehensive. I can't bear the thought of some snafu keeping us from our future daughter. I need to pray harder for peace about this. I know that it is in GOD'S hands, and I accept that.
