This is my personal journey of getting and raising my family. It is not the conventional way to get a family. I went through years of infertility. We conceived our daughter through IVF and adopted our son from Vietnam in August 2008.

Approval to Travel!!!
We got approval to travel to Vietnam from USCIS (US Citizenship & Immigration Services) last night- YEA! Nothing like waiting till the last minute- we were on working day 55 of 60. We are very excited to at last have an end to our journey to have another child! It has been a long 4 years to have another child... lots of ups and downs. We finally know we will be able to meet and take Kyle home soon and have a family of four. Devin is very excited to bring "brother Kyle" home and wants to know if we are going today... "Well, not today Honey- but very soon..." I need to make some phone calls this morning to our adoption agency to find out more details of our travel and G& R date. The G&R is Vietnam's "court date" to officially receive and adopt Kyle. They usually set the date soon after receiving your I-600 approval to travel. So, we should be traveling in the next 10 days to 3 weeks. I don't think it will be immediately as there is another group traveling from our agency (Danang Red Cross Orphanage) in Vietnam right now. They usually don't want 2 groups traveling at once. I should find out more later today or tomorrow. Of course, Murphy's Law comes into play b/c my bi-annual family reunion is in <2 weeks & I was really looking forward to seeing everyone. So, I don't know if we will make it. I will keep you posted as soon as I find out...

Congratulations Traci. I know you've been waiting for a while. Other than holding your baby for the first time, there's nothing sweeter than the TA!
