Uncertainties….and the ever challenge of paperwork!!.

….well yesterday I found out that the home study extension was denied by the ministry and they want to wait for the home study update which hopefully will be sent this coming week. I am trying to find out what this will mean in terms of timelines and other problems. I'm not sure how long it will take the ministry to review and then hopefully approve the home study update; however, my bigger concern is will the DA wait for my paperwork to be in order?  or will this delay cause other delays there??

The original information was that once the extension is approved (it seemed that that was not going to be a problem) then the Vietnam process could continue….however, this has not happened….so the lesson here for all adoptive and waiting families,  it is important to never let your home study expire without an extension or plenty of time for a home study update to be done before the expiry date.  Not sure if anyone else has encountered this?   It is a question I had in June and regret not asking it when I thought of it?

….anyhow I am sad and yet trying to stay positive….so many mixed emotions, a down on the roller coaster of paper work once again.
