medicals and waiting...

Now I know what they mean when I've read or been told that it actually gets harder to wait once you have a referral or are 'very' close to one....today I asked about my referral after I had promised myself I just would continue to wait....however did get a bit more information. Apparently my agency director is awaiting the medical reports on a few children that will be placed through our agency...once those reports are in then PAP's will be notified....and am "hoping" that I will be one of those PAP's....so for now I continue to wait and hope and wait and hope...

...vung tau referrals...

Today I found out that another single mom I met last year, did receive a referral for a little girl, also from Vung Tau....so that is exciting news!!...there is also another couple who has a referral for a girl too, so our children will be from the same area and they will have that connection...for now that's all there is to share....

Language.....

Am looking into starting to learn the Vietnamese language.....not sure if anyone has any contacts on this; however, I did contact the Vietnamese community Centre here in Ottawa. Will keep you posted!.....

Vung Tau.....

Have been doing some research on Vung Tau, it is right by the water and is a resort town. I found this wonderful photo to share, and then discovered that it is on other blogs as well....There are Vung Tau orphanage photos on other blogs too and am hoping to connect to those soon....for now I continue to wait for that important phone call......

....still waiting....

No dreams last night, or vivid ones at least......this week did manage to get an appointment at a travel clinic for Feb. 4 and talk to the International Adoption clinic at CHEO.....feel like I need to continue to prepare....

another bit of news......Vung Tau.....

Today is my nephew Nick's birthday and today I also found out that my child is in Vung Tau.....southern Vietnam, near Ho Chi Minh city.....and know that a referral will come very soon.....the dream is becoming reality.....

...still dreaming....

I had another dream last night. It was a bit foggy but in the dream I was preparing for travel and then it switched to my being in Vietnam. There was an air of anticipation, fear, joy, excitement ...I did not see a baby but the baby felt very close.....

Dreams....

...last night I had my first baby dream....I had somehow received a child proposal. It had arrived by email, I was so nervous, excited, scared, I stepped away from the computer trying to calm myself so I would remember this moment....going back to the computer I could see an image, a big round face, and a bit of pink colour....couldn't tell if it was a pink sweater or just some pink on the clothing....I remember thinking, "it's a girl?"...as somehow I was expecting a boy?.......but when I went to look to actually see the picture fully, the dream was over..... It left me with a peaceful feeling when I woke up....some how the spirit world is connecting with the physical world, or so I hope, as I await the real proposal.....
