Well, I caved and decided to email the agency director to see if there was a chance we could travel in January and the answer sadly is no :( The indication is that our time line is the same as other families who might (might mind you) be traveling January 13th and will have been waiting over 7 months. 7 months for us will mean a travel date in March or April or later (depending on when the processing actually started). Not good :( I'm feeling very frustrated and pretty down about this tonight. I feel like this adoption process will never end. This changes things quite a bit. I now will have to take whatever job comes along (here's hoping one finally comes along!!) as the time limit is going to run out on opening a parental leave claim. Unfortunately this means I may not be able to travel to Vietnam to pick our son up. I'm really hoping that a new employer will feel generous and allow me to go but I can't count on it.
Anyway, enough of the self-pity garbage! We've been though too much for this adoption not to work out eventually right?? Hopefully we'll get him before he enters high school lol...

Arg, my heart is breaking for you. Of course it will work out, but these months are so hard.
