still silence

A few weeks will go by here and there and we will get an email from our agency... "still no news" or like the latest... "we've seen little activity". Chris and I have both been recently fingerprinted and we continue to wait. Wait for something... waiting to finally bring home our girl, or wait to be told that we've lost another child. At this point, we are ready for some answers. Here is the latest from our agency...
On August 19, 2009 the US Embassy (Hanoi) met with the DIA in Hanoi. The DIA is sending a letter to the Department of Justice of VN requesting they contact the DOJ in the province in order to encourage them to resolve all of the Worldwide cases. On the surface this all sounds like there is the possibility that the DOJ might be able to persuade the province to complete these cases. However, we need to remember that the DOJ in the province still has the final word. I always feel obligated to be the realist in all adoption cases, but I also want each of us to look at this as a positive step in the process to bring your babies home.The DIA will notify Thuoc when they have news from the DOJ. All of this will be done on Vietnam time, not ours, so we could be waiting a while for this process to be completed.

and so we continue to wait...

Waiting with you in spirit--to hear something and ideally what you want to hear! How wonderful, though, that Dillen has you two to pray for her as good parents pray for their child. Though it may not feel like much, that is the most loving thing and it is fighting the best fight of all. love, Bonita
