I talked to the adoption representative at Holt International today. She just confirmed the worries that I already have. Vietnam may or may not open by the end of the year and the needs of the children are not certain nor are the ages or if we would even qualify. So many unknowns.
The only option right now is China. So the next step is a home study to make sure that we are capable of taking care of a child ;). We can begin that process and then hope that Vietnam opens up sooner rather than later or we can just decide to go with China.
If we decide to go with China then we may wait a little while anyway because we are wanting to adopt a girl and there are more people wanting girls right now than there are people wanting boys. Which kind of makes me sad anyway. This could put us at another 6 mos out which would mean about 2 years before we area able to travel to China and come back home with a baby girl.
I guess we just take one step at a time.
