This afternoon we had a conference call with the agencies involved with our adoption of Mia.  There has been a lot of noise on various web sites about adoption … in Vietnam and in other countries.  Vietnam, being so newly opened to adoption, has a lot of questions associated with it as these agencies try and get enough experience to make the process go smoothly.  So, we wanted to talk with everyone to make sure that we were as prepared as we can be before going.  I think Kelly and I feel pretty confident going forward that we have done as much as we can before actually leaving for Vietnam.

At the end of the call, we asked about time frames.  They again told us that our third letter should be received this week and they told us that they expect our travel date to be on or around Sept. 21st with a “Giving and Receiving” ceremony on or around Monday, Sept. 24th.  This pretty much means that we will miss Zach, Britt, and Luke’s birthday’s.  But, it is getting exciting … and quite a bit stressful … to know that the day is coming quickly!
