Adoption Update # 3

Now that we have most of the paperwork completed for our social worker, we need to focus on completing all the paperwork for our agency. We have completed most of the following:

- Review the contract and sign off on all the clauses
- Complete the Vietnam Application Form
- Have our doctors complete the Vietnam Medical Forms
- Provide a copy of our Marriage Certificate
- Provide photos
- Provide copies of our passports
- Provide employment letters
- Provide a copy of our Statement of Income and Expenses

This appears to be alot easier than the paperwork we had to collect for China. There's got to be a catch or perhaps this is only the first part of the paperwork required. Anyways, so far our agency has been pleasant and easy to deal with. Perhaps not always easy to reach but it's also a smaller agency. At this point we are just waiting for our medicals to be completed and then to meet with our social worker again. It is at this time she will likely let us know if we are approved. Maybe because it's been a long and rocky road, I'm just not feeling optimistic about this adoption. My heart wants it so bad, but my head keeps telling me it's not going to happen. I won't even allow myself to think about it. I'm just tired of broken dreams and don't want to get myself excited like last time.
