Travel Update:
We got a travel update from our agency! We e-mailed our names and the airport we would like to travel to NY from this morning. We were also given some bad news: our hotel is raising it's fees and it is going to cost us quite a bit more than expected. I'm not quite sure what we are going to do now, but somehow we are going to get through this (I hope).

Travel Update:
After speaking with our social worker/program coordinatorI have learned that we are expecting to travel right after Thanksgiving (on the 25th)!!! There will be another group leaving on December 2. All in all there should be about 10 families over there before the end of the year! I just can't wait until we are able to travel! We have been ready for so long!

We got our I-171 today!!! That means that everything on the US end is done for the adoption and we just have to wait for our paperwork to go through Vietnam!

Our paperwork has moved to step 10!!!!! We are so happy since we were on step 9 for something like 2 months!! Only one more step until we are approved and will be able to travel at the end of November.

PS: Step 10 means our paperwork has been sent to the Department of Justice in Vietnam!

Look at our wonderful girl! Same age as the last 3 posts. She just loves that box!

Here she is (from about the same time). I'm glad to see that she has some more hair (I was getting worried). She looks just like a doll.

Here she is at almost 25 weeks. She is holding a box that says "Small Face Medicine." Let's hope they are treating her poor eyes.

We still have yet to hear anything new from Vietnam. We are waiting to get new pics anyday! The pics were taken last Tuesday so we should get them soon (I hope). I also want some new stats because the last stats we got were at 14 weeks and now she is almost 26 weeks and I am anxious to see where her stats lie on our growth chart. I'll definately keep everyone updated. To see a gorgeous little girl who is with her parents in Vietnam at the moment, check out http://ourlittlemissmagic.blogspot.com/ I am still learning this blog thing and cannot figure out how to post links.
