John believes that you deliver bad news up front, and all at once -- so here it goes:
1) The long awaited, much anticipated video of Ada is not coming after all. Apparently, there were some technical difficulties and all we know for sure is that we've been told to stop waiting for the video to arrive. Sorry for the chain-yank!
2) United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) changed the process for reviewing petitions to adopt/visa applications in Ho Chi Minh City in November. This means that we will be delayed in our travel to Vietnam. We had been hoping for an early January travel date, and now have our sites set on mid-February. Silver lining: The process change will add more certainty to the process and is a good thing. So, cross your fingers and hope that we'll leave asap!
3) We probably won't get any more photos of Ada during the wait.
Well, it seems less terrible now that its in writing. Fortunately, Ada is thriving and will be with us forever once we finally get to her!

The good news is that you have Ada referred to you already. I hope the bureaucratic delays do not discourage you, because they seem to be inevitable! Hang in there. We'll be following your blog.
