A bit of news....

I was feeling really down because we hadn't heard anything from our agency in a long time....so my husband called them today to see how things are going. Here's the update!

Our case worker told him that referrals had really slowed down because of the holidays, and because a lot of the babies in their largest orphanage were sick (boo hoo). Because of the holidays, it was difficult to get a doctor to see the babies, but now they've all seen the doctor and are getting better!

Our caseworker told us that they should be referring one or two boys this week....so we should be moving up in line at least a little! She also said that the orphanages are very full and they expect quite a few referrals this month. She's hopeful that we'll have our match before the Vietnamese holiday of Tet begins. It starts around Feb 6 and most things in Vietnam shut down for several weeks. It's sortof like New Year's, I think! Sounds fun....I'd like to take a two week holiday right about now!

I feel a little better now....come on referrals!
