Adoption summary...

for those of you who aren't up to speed. Brad and I are trying to adopt an infant boy from Vietnam. We first applied in April, I think it was April. Anyway, we were so lucky that everything went so quickly for us. Our homestudy, medicals, police clearances, and immigration paperwork was completed in record breaking time. We sent our dossier (completed paperwork) to Vietnam at the end of July. Now we are just waiting for the referral - the picture, medical report, and birth certificate for our baby. In July our agency told us that we should receive a referral in two to four months but that it would probably be closer to two. Well, here we are three months later and still no baby. Every week we think that this will be THE week. We are getting so impatient. I'm sure our agency is tired of getting email from me every few days looking for updates. I know they'll call or email as soon as they know something but I like to keep in touch almost daily just to remind them that we're still here! Atleast if we had our referral we would know how old the baby is. I'd like to finish getting the nursery ready but it's kinda hard when you don't know if he'll be three months old or eleven months old or somewhere in between. Of course, Brad isn't making this any easier since he's just a ball of nerves. Oh well, enough complaining. Maybe tomorrow will be the day...
