Last night we received THE e-mail from the US Embassy approving travel for our baby girl!! We are in shock and disbelief that we received notice of approval in just 15 working days! Actually, the determination of orphan status was made in 11 working days on Oct. 28. Then the paperwork was sent from HCMC to the US Embassy in Hanoi where notice was sent via e-mail to us on Nov. 3. Our agency said they will let us know in a few days when we can travel depending on how soon the G&R (Giving and Receiving) Ceremony can be scheduled. I CAN'T WAIT!!! Meanwhile, I had no idea we could be traveling so soon- which means that I need to go into high gear making travel arrangements, purchasing all the baby essentials, packing for the trip, etc, etc! After two and a half years of a very SLOW adoption process, it is hard to believe that we will be traveling to our little one in just a few weeks :)
