My referral will be for a little boy.
He is waiting for me in the north, about 1 hour outside of Hanoi.
A group of children, including my son, has been registerred at the orphanage and the media advertisements are running their course.
I recognize that children may return to their birth family or experience a transition into a Vietnamese adoptive family during the media advertisements and that is why no details are shared with waiting families. An official match has not been made but there must be enough waiting children that the agency feels comfortable notifying me that a referral is pending.
Referrals are now expected in July (any time in July would make me happy).
Travel will occur 2-4 months after the referral acceptance is sent to Vietnam.
My friends are travelling to Vietnam tomorrow.
They will meet and hold and love on my son (and all the other yet to be matched babies).
They will take pictures and video.
When I learn who he is I will cherish all of these early pictures.
There is no password yet but watch for the password email this weekend if you have requested it. Perhaps I will have orphanage photos to share next week!
