In one month my dossier will have been in a file somewhere in Vietnam for a whole year. I started the adoption process in 2006 when Vietnam first reopened US adoptions and now I am still waiting for a referral when Vietnam and US are once again closing the doors on adoption. I have always felt in my heart that I was meant to make this journey, but the sand is slipping through the hour glass of time as the September 1 deadline for referrals is approaching. I am trying to stay hopeful, but at this point I don't even know if we have been "matched" with a baby yet.
On a positive note, my adoption buddies Heather and Julie received referrals, and Jenna & Ed are in Vietnam now with their little baby Ella. I am so happy for them :)
