Yesterday we received our long awaited (post Tet) update. There is a 12 step process for us to go through before leaving to get Claire. The update..........we are at step 11. Jynger (Vietnam program director) called yesterday. She also told us we "should have" a giving and receiving ceremony scheduled around the 13th or 14th(or so). We are very excited, and yet we are ready to hear the words "do have" instead of "should have". With those kind of dates being mentioned, we would have to leave anywhere around the 9-13 of March. Jynger told us she would get back to us by "about" Monday.
We are also still awaiting our I-600 approval (now waiting over 100 days). However, we have had lots of communication with the person in charge at the US Embassy in Vietnam. For what it is worth, the have been wonderful! They are working on our case, and now that we have some fairly solid dates, they are trying to get our paperwork done. For those of you who are still waiting for your approval, and are over 60 days, I strongly encourage you to e-mail the embassy. We will not go in to details, but the delay is not the fault of the embassy. Please email me if you would like contact information.
It was a big day in our family, and we are so excited about "nearing the end" to completing our family. (Our family GREW yesterday as well). My identical twin sister gave birth to the newest member of our family yesterday morning. My nephew, Spencer Charles Lauffer was born weighing 7 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long. He is adorable, and has two very proud older siblings. Welcome baby Spencer!
Check back with us in the next day or two. I will post new updates as we get them, and post some new pictures too.
