"Well I Guess She Sung"

Well I guess we all know the old saying "It's not over till the fat lady sings", well she has sung today. I didn't think I would be writing this and have waited so long to be able to post pictures of my family, daughter, and etc. with our new baby that we have waited over 3 years to adopt. We received a final email from the Department of State/ US Embassy today regarding the situation with our adoption. As you know our babies orgin could not be determined so this made her ineligible for adoption, and so we have been waiting on what the next step might be in such high hopes that this might get resolved or that we would receive another referral. At 8:30 AM all hope was shattered this is bits and pieces of the letter we received;

I am writing to inform you that we have received a formal response from the Government of Vietnam concerning families like yours who are requesting a second referral to adopt a child from Vietnam. Unfortunately, the news that I must share with you today is not what any of us had hoped for.
On February 23, the US Embassy received the Ministry of Justice’s written response which stated the Government of Vietnam will permit second referrals only in cases where the child has died; the Ministry of Justice will not issue second referrals for any other cases.
Though we are disappointed with the Ministry of Justice’s decision on the question of second referrals, we understand this response to be a final one.

That is what I woke up too. I have to upmost respect and good things to say about the US Embassy in Vietnam, I feel that they really advocated for my family and kept us well informed, and they were very sincere and offered apologies that there efforts were not a success. Where to go from here. I never thought I would be in this situation, and I am sure the other families in the same situation are at a loss for words too. If you know of other families, that are in the situation we are I would love to talk with them, to see what there agency advised them to do. The discussion on agencies will be soon to come....Please pray that I will find peace, and the direction that I am intended to go.....
