*First Phase of Paperwork Done!

Today we mailed in the last required documents for our home study – the guardianship form, and our employer’s letter from Crusade. Today I feel like I want to get things moving quickly and get our dossier to Vietnam asap, but other days I feel like it could all happen too fast. The reality may be that it is slower than our agency told us. Maybe they are too optimistic. I don’t know. I wonder if a lot of people are coming to adopt from Vietnam because China’s adoption wait time has increased so much.

I stumbled upon a blog of a family that adopted recently through FIA too and they didn’t always seem to have a positive experience with the agency, so that left me with even more concerns. I guess this is where faith comes in. And, I know they can’t make everyone happy and there are always errors.

My sister moved home from Denver today. I look forward to having her be a bigger part of Koen’s life now.
