About six months ago we did all our paperwork to adopt Mia.  All that paperwork had to be notarized, certified by the State of Ohio, certified by the Vietnam Consulate in San Francisco, send back to our adoption agency, and then sent on to Vietnam.  One of the documents was certified attached to another document.  We had asked at the time if that was going to be a problem and we were assured that it would not.  We questioned this because we had time to fix it, but again they told us it was fine.

Yesterday they told us it was not fine and that document had to be redone.  This was very frustrating news to say the least.  Kelly was able to get a new document yesterday, but again it has to go to the State of Ohio, Vietnam Consulate, etc.  So, the process has just been delayed.

I can’t imagine the process at this point taking less than 3 – 4 weeks.  But, we are praying that it goes quicker than that.  It is so difficult to be this close to the end and have road blocks like this pop up.  But, we sure love that little Mia and are willing to jump through whatever hoops are necessary to get her home.

As always, thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and concern.
