Well I am feeling a bit frustrated today. We got the word that we would definitely not travel in 2009. This was really not a surprise as we had suspected that it would not be December. However, the mood seems to be that January is a hope but not even close to a certainty. If not January then Tet will probably delay travel for a month or more, bringing us to March. It is so frustrating that things have slowed down so much in Vietnam. It is hard enough to have an endless wait for a referral, but an endless wait after referral is a whole new level of frustration. There are days when you don't want to think about it and you close the door to the "nursery" as you can't bear to look at the long set up crib with the inch of dust. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to picture a baby in there even though the "baby" has a name and you hope against hopes one day in the not so distant future he will actually be in the crib.
At this point it is very hard to imagine ever getting those elusive travel dates. I think I'd be happy to have a couple updated pictures to prove to me he does actually exist. Sigh...
