Official word has come out that Vietnam will be ending adoptions with the United States. For the AP article, here's the link:

What does this mean for us? I'm not certain yet. We are currently waiting on a new referral. I have been told that it should come soon. Whether or not we will fit in the current timeframe of things, I am uncertain. Right now I am going with the flow, and will be ecstatic if Iam flying home from Vietnam one day soon with a baby on my lap. However, I am not going to be surprised if that does not happen. I will be, of course, sad. But surprised?? Not anymore.
I feel terrible for the babies in need of a good home. They have asked for nothing in this life and have gotten caught up in a situation made impossible by bureaucracy and governmental egos.
I'll report more news on our case as I hear anything. In the meantime, light a candle, say a prayer, meditate, whatever you enjoy doing, for us, but more importantly, for the future of the little souls in Vietnam.

Hi Michelle!
Hang in there, I will hope and pray you get a new referral soon! This is so hard but your positive attitude always brightens my day.
Hey coming to the cities any time soon? How about a girls night out? Little wine and some good food always makes me feel better!!

This really sucks. I hope things change and clean up.
