The DA has received the paperwork for Phuong Lan from the orphanage. We are waiting for the formal proposal, which we anticipate will happen soon. The DA needs to approve the match.
I had thought that we would be able to travel once we were formally proposed Phuong Lan, however, I have discovered that this is not the case. After we accept the proposal, we need to send paperwork back to Vietnam. Then a Giving and Receiving ceremony needs to be scheduled. (This is where we sign paperwork in Vietnam to make everything legal and official.) Once the ceremony is scheduled, we can book our flights and apply for our Visas.
It looks like we won't travel for another 2 months minimum. Waiting is the hardest part of the process. I know God works in His perfect timing. I guess on the positive side, I can work full time (if the teacher's strike ends) to help pay off our adoption debt.
Trusting God! :) I just want to hold my baby girl.
