We went down to the consulate office this afternoon for our 2pm appointment … only to find out it is TOMORROW afternoon at 2pm.  This is a problem, because the VISA’s need six hours to clear and we wouldn’t be able to pick them up until Monday.  Monday is a LOT better than next Thursday, but it still makes for a long weekend in a city that we are not as used to as we were in HCMC. 

The one American interviewer was between parents, so Tammy marched right in to the interview room and started talking to him about all the frustrations.  We are in Hanoi, the ONLY adopting family without representation, we feel very lost, and we just really want to go home.  I think all the frustrations of the last couple of days really came to a head for her and she got a little emotional. 

In the end, we BELIEVE we have an appointment tomorrow morning at 9AM.  That is when he told us to come back.  He said that will give them enough time to clear the VISA’s and get them back to us between 3 and 4PM. We would still make our flight. 

We are believing that is what is going to happen and are planning on coming home tomorrow (Friday) night.  If not, we will be home Monday.  Either way, we are so ready to get home and see the kids and all our family and friends!
