Paperwork is done; waiting period begins!

Today we received our I-171H (last immigration document) back from our state capital with the state certification. So we fought the clock to get our entire paperwork mountain (aka dossier) to the post office by 5:00pm tonight. Our dossier will make a quick stop in Oregon to be reviewed by our adoption agency (PLAN,Inc) and then on to the Vietnamese Consulate!!



This is a snapshot of our dossier (paperwork to Vietnam)



This officially ends our paper chase. Now we enter the waiting game. We now wait until the Vietnamese government matches us up with our baby girl. When we receive this "referral," we'll receive a few pictures, a medical report & brief history (if known) and her location. Our agency works out of 5 orphanages from 3 different provinces. She will likely be between 5 and 8 months old at the time of referral. Shortly after the referral, we will get our travel date, which is typically 1-4 months after the referral date.
Help us pray for the government officials as they match us with a baby girl.
In Christ,
Dennis and Kathy
