Okay so Friday's update came as a surprise to us!! We have found out that the Vietnamese government is at this point saying any families who get an official referral before Sept. 1st WILL get to finalize their adoption. WOOHOO...that counts us IN!!!!! We had to fill out a Commitment Letter to accept Derek's referral on Friday and we Fed Ex'd that to Arizona to our agency to arrive Monday morning. We are hping that will get sent over right away so we can get our "Official Match Letter" from the DIA. The associate should be meeting with the DIA early in the week to pass on the Age letter and then he DIA can send us the match letter as soon as they get them. Continue to pray that the DIA will recieve the age letter Monday or Tuesday at the latest and that they will issue the match letter immediately since May 1st is a holiday in Vietnam and as we all know by now the country shuts down government operations for a few days for all their holidays. Therefore if they send the match letter at the beginning of the week it should get to us while they are clebrating their holiday and then when they ge back in the swing of things we should be lucky enough for them to submit our I600. WOOHOO!!!! We are finally seeing positive forward action!!!
Keep praying!!!!!
