We have a daughter! I just got the referral from our agency for an 8 month old baby girl from Vietnam. She is in the same orphanage that Anh was associated with. I really can't believe that we actually have the referral, although we are not out of the woods yet. Vietnam is closing their adoptions with the U.S. as of September 1st because of all of the accusations that the U.S. is making. The U.S. has claimed that they have evidence of baby selling, although I'm not entirely sure I believe that it is happening to the extent that they claim. It is a difficult time right now in the world of international adoption - China has slowed to a snails pace, Vietnam is closing, Nepal is closed, Guatemala is all but closed, and even adoption from Africa seems problematic.
Well, for now we will enjoy these lovely pictures of Tham and hope that our paperwork goes through OK and that we come home with her in another 5 months or so.
