Official Referral!
We are so happy to (finally) announce the official referral of our baby boy! His name is Nguyen Hoi, but will probably become Edward Allen Hoi Lee. He is 4 months old, and if all goes well, we will travel to pick him up in October!
I just found your blog from Angelica's Mom's blog. We too were matched with a 4 month old in July. We are still waiting to file our I-600 though :-( CONGRATS to your family!!
