2nd Homestudy Complete - Jan 21/12

Since we changed provinces, we had to re do the majority of our paperwork, including rcmp checks, medicals, referral letters, etc.  The process took just as long as our 1st home study, unfortunately, but our social worker was wonderful, and very understanding/compassionate with respect to our frustrations at having to redo it all.  We moved mid May 2011 and we are so happy to report that our paperwork is complete!  Fortunately we didn't lose our place on the waiting list, as our new adoption agency works with our old one to facilitate adoptions in Vietnam.  Now we just need the Ministry Approval (generally takes about a week) and we are officially back on the wait list.  Referrals for children who are considered to be healthy still have not started in Vietnam due to their becoming Hague compliant, but special needs adoptions are moving forward.
