September 1st......the dreaded day. On this day, US citizens will not be allowed to adopt children from Vietnam. Of course, a miracle could happen, and the US & VN governments could change their minds, but there is little hope of that happening before September 1st.
Our agency is optimistic that we will receive our referral of Lela Grace before the Sept 1st deadline. So, we chose to be optimistic with them. We hope for a phone call everyday. I'm ready to hang the letters on her wall (painted letters that spell out "LELA" -- I've had them a while, but, protecting my heart, didn't want to hang them in her room). I've decided to believe whole-heartedly that this WILL happen. The joy is worth the risk.
Continue your prayers.
