Wer received a phone call from Diane today with good news....She gave us a travel update!!! Here is the run down:

The DIA sent your dossier copies to the Department of Justice in DA Nang as
of last week. The DOJ has ordered the Da Nang orphanage to assemble a child
dossier. The orphanage director is currently working on collecting all
necessary paperwork for the dossier which should take about 7-10 days.


By the end of April the DOJ will have both the copy of your dossier and the
child dossier. They will then instruct the local security police to perform
an investigation on the child information. This is just a formality since
the police have already investigated the abandonment.


Then the DOJ will seek the endorsement of the Da Nang�s Peoples� Committee
before making a recommendation and final report back to the DIA in Hanoi.
Upon receiving the report from the DOJ the DIA will make the necessary
authorization or �final approval� for the DOJ to invite the families to go
to Vietnam to attend the G&R Ceremony.


We still do not know when you will be traveling, but we are still thinking
that it will probably be in June.

So please continue to pray with us that the paperwork continues to move quickly and that we may still have a chance to travel before they are anticipating.
