I like the term "paperwork pregnant". I'm experiencing lots of different emotions, ups and downs, successes, etc. that parallel pregnancy. I may not be experiencing morning sickness, but instead I have tons of paperwork, deadlines, and government agencies. I am still waiting and dreaming...when will I get approval from USCIS, will IAAP make the referral or Vietnam, where are my children now, how old will my children be, how soon will I travel to meet them, do I buy toys, slings, baby or toddler things, etc.
To fill in the time, I surf adoption and Vietnam web sites. I also added a timeline of paperwork pregnancy to my blog. I'm exchanging information and fabric with other adopting parents to make a culture quilt for my children. I've applied for the National Board Certification process. And...I wait...

Waiting can be so hard at times ! I hope your paper pregnancy doesn't last too long. I've been in labor for all of July so far!! LOL
Congrats on soon traveling to Vietnam! Do you have pictures of your Vietnam sweetie? Not sure if the pics on your site are your China baby or Vietnam baby. :) Either way, she is adorable!!
Congrats on beginning your journey to your Vietnamese baby.
I was wondering if you'd mind contacting me regarding your agency. I'm still trying to choose and had a couple of questions.
