The Big 50

Well it is day 50. Actually being that it is 8pm here in NY, it is 8am in Hanoi. So technically day 51. It would be so good to hear good news tonight.

Sweet Jade

Today I went out to the mailbox and found such a sweet note. My 11 year old daughter is learning about letter writing in school. So she had to write a letter to me. Here is part of what her letter said "Dear Mom, I am at school and I wanted to tell you I love you and hang in there. I say hang in there because you are being very strong in this adoption." Love your daughter, Jade" I am reminded today of my blessings. This adoption has become such a part of all of us. I forget that the kids too, endure this wait, and that they are always watching and learning.

Little Peanut

I was really happy to receive new height and weight for Tai last night. He is a little peanut. He is 7 months old now and his weight is 15 pounds and height 24 inches. It is so nice to have a better idea of how big he will be when I get there. Now....I just have to get that approval.

Day 44 Pictures

Well, no I600 approval yet, but we have new pictures. Tai looks wonderful. He is so gorgeous and looks really healthy.
I wish I could post a picture but I have to wait until he is in my arms to do that. I can say that seeing his picture today made my heart ache more and more for him. Maybe tonight's the night........

DAY 43

Ok, I am officially going nuts. I have spent the last 43 days waiting for an email. A bunch of days before that waiting for my I600 to go out. Bunch of days before that waiting for my travel call.Geez. Enough already.
I am ready to go get my baby boy. I am ready to kiss his sweet face and bring him home to love him up. C'mon email, let tonight be the night

Nothing

Well, no approval for me last night. I swear I am getting so tired of being disappointed that the email isnt there when I wake up. That and waking up every hour or so all night to check. I am hoping this week is the week. I am ready to go get Tai.

Rise and Shine

Ok, well it's Sunday night here/Monday morning in HoChiMinh City. I so hope tonight is the night. Basically if I dont hear this week then I think I won't be traveling before Tet. So, please....c'mon approval...

I think we are close

I have been haivng this feeling all day today that I600 approval is very close. God I hope I am right. Its been a little over 3 weeks siince I received my confirmation from USCIS. I am so ready to go get my little guy.......c'mon let tonight be the night that wonderful email arrives!
