no referral for us
Our agency clearly and firmly told the 29 families without a dossier in Vietnam over a month ago that we would not be able to get a referral in time. They told the families of those who had dossiers in Vietnam in March that they would most likely get a referral and complete their adoption. I respect them for their honesty, even though I hate the message.
We began in Guatemala and switched to Vietnam last March when the warning came out from DOS about Guatemalan adoptions. We were told at that time we could easily complete an adoption in Vietnam. We are now wondering where to go next... at 43 with minor health issues and 3 special needs adopted children our choices seem so limited. Our 3 boys are domestic adoptions from foster care, but I want a daughter under the age of 2. So we went international this time...
Normally I am the one telling people everything is okay and we can work with this bump but, I am needing words of encouragement and my local friends are ready for us to quit. Cindy
