We got an email from our CM today that tells us that the medical exams are being done this week on the babies in the orphanage. We should have a current medical report next week on Derek's conditions. We are praying that he is healthy and strong. Our dossier will be hand delivered to the DIA next week by Duc. The DIA required that it be hand delivered for some unknown reason. Let's just hope it's a good one. And Ray is working to have our travel guide finished for us to receive next week so that we can begin looking into our travel arrangements and requirements of Vietnam. We are going to try to start packing some things so we can get ahead of the game. We were told to pack light as there are accomodations to do laundry there. We intend to carry along an empty suitcase to pack items in that we will purchase there.
Norm is getting very anxious to travel as he can't wait to hold his son in his arms. I have had a sense of contentment about me since we received the picture and Norm has gone full circle in being very anxious now.
Soon we will be holding Derek in our arms as we have been holding him in our hearts.
Continue to pray for safety and health of the babies in the orphanage.
