Got word from our adoption agency last night that the dossier was completed in Washington and on its way to Vietnam. So the big wait now begins until we get a referral. Because all of the procedures are new compared to Jessie’s adoption, we don’t know how long this will take. We’ve got our fingers crossed that it will be quick, but our adoption agency says it could be up to four months.

Hopefully, the next status update will be that we’ve got a referral!

Just a real quick note to say that we got confirmation via Fedex that our dossier was delivered in Vietnam.  So now the wait really is on.  Because all the procedures in Vietnam are new, we don’t know if we’ll hear anything else before we get our referral. 

Not sure how to categorize this, but guess it’s best put in the “Getting Ready” group. A national newspaper in Turkey recently ran an article comparing Nancy (and Tim) to Angelina Jolie because both had adopted internationally. The article mentions that we have one adopted daughter from Vietnam and that we’re going to get a second. The headlines are “A Diplomat in Ankara Is Angelina” and “Our Jolie Is Nancy.” Article complete with pictures is below.
