We heard from the adoption agency yesterday that they hope, and I stress hope, to be able to make an official referral to us this week or next.  The referreal would be an infant girl who was recently placed in the orphange that our adoption agency sponsors.

So, with fingers crossed and knocking on wood, we hope that we will be able to take the next big step soon.  If that were to occur, of course, the next big question is when we could go to Vietnam to get Alyssa.   We’re still being told it will take four months, which seems like a long time and will seem like an eternity once we get the referral.

Stay tuned for more info as we get it.
