"Our letter from the DIA"

We are on vacation in Florida this week and I brought my laptop so I could look at my favorite blogs each day which I am addicted to doing and we received the email from the DIA that we are officially matched with our baby. I was so excited this came just 1 day before it had been announced that in order for the US Embassy to consider the official referral you have to receive the letter from the DIA before September, 1. I am so glad that things are moving along and that we made the deadline. My heart breaks for the families that have been told that they will not be able to continue with Vietnam unless some changes are made by September 1. I know how emotional the adoption process is and how challenging it has been, but I pray for the babies that will be affected and the families that have been let down and having to follow different paths. Just remember that it is all about building a family and saving a child. We have to keep the faith....
