WE ARE GOING TO VIETNAM!!
I can not believe it is actually going to happen.
Day 42, I contacted Judy at PLAN about our progress and an email response from USCIS.
She said they were basically not saying anything, that I could try calling the Embassy to see if they had any word on our case.
Monday night, I tried calling the embassy and got their fax. Try again, check my emails, nothing. Finally got through and once the lady figured out our last name, said I should check my email. I told her I just had, and she said check again because they had just sent something out.
For those of you who have done this and gone through what has become almost 3 years of waiting, never forgetting, always on your mind, you know the feeling. For everyone else, thank you for trying to understand, your support has been incredible.
We are leaving on Halloween, sorry boys, and will be meeting Maia for the first time, (she will be meeting us, Laurie and I have enjoyed pictures, dreams and special moments in our hearts with her for many months already) on Tuesday November 4. This will be a special day in our family forever.
For those of you who know me, get set for a little fun on Maia's blog space, as the misadventures of Darrin and Laurie go to Hanoi is only a week away.
