Updates

We have accepted the referral of our "little one" Nhi. We will be completing more paperwork over the next couple days and weeks. This will include a trip to Columbus (for all the northern friends and family) to get the documents state certified. After that we will be sending the documents to San Francisco for the Vietnam authentication.

Once all of our renewed documents are in along with the approval of our petition to adopt to has been approved by the Vietnamese government, we will get a travel time. The agency is says the travel time will be 5 1/2 months from now, which is late November.

We also got an update on Nhi's measurements: Head circumference 44 cm or 17.3 inches, Chest circumference 45 cm or 17.7 inches, length is 67 cm or 26.3 inches and his weight is 8.4 kg or 18.5 lbs. He is growing well. We also hope to get new pictures maybe once a month depending on if the staff there can get it emailed to the agency.

We are all very excited and can't wait to travel-please bear with us- it's going to be a hard wait for the travel dates as it is and when we know more we will update you all. We love the support but there are many questions we don't have answers to and want you all to be willing to let us get through this rough time without more anxiety and worry. Keep reading this blog to get the updates. Love you all.
